Los Angeles Dodgers manager Dave Roberts provided an update on Shohei Ohtani’s shoulder injury ahead of Game 3 of the World Series.
Ohtani, a key player for the Dodgers, is currently being evaluated by medical staff to determine his availability for the next game.
Roberts indicated that discussions with the training staff suggest a good chance Ohtani could play, pending his pain tolerance and physical assessment.
The MRI results of Ohtani’s shoulder have not been disclosed, but he reportedly felt good with a good range of motion and strength during morning evaluations.
Pitcher Walker Buehler emphasized Ohtani’s significant impact on team morale, stating that his presence allows other players to perform with less pressure.
The Dodgers recognize the importance of every game in the series, and Ohtani’s participation could provide a crucial advantage against the New York Yankees.
Fans are hopeful for Ohtani’s return, as his talent and dedication have brought a new dynamic to the team during the World Series.
