Los Angeles Dodgers face uncertainty regarding star pitcher Shohei Ohtani’s health after a subluxation in his left shoulder during Game 2 of the World Series.
Ohtani sustained the injury while attempting to steal a base in the seventh inning but showed determination to play in Game 3 against the New York Yankees.
Manager Dave Roberts confirmed Ohtani insisted on participating in the crucial game despite the injury.
Medical tests revealed no additional structural damage to Ohtani’s shoulder, providing relief to the Dodgers’ medical staff.
Concerns remain about the potential need for shoulder surgery after the season, with Roberts emphasizing the importance of Ohtani’s full recovery.
Ohtani’s shoulder was put back in place shortly after the incident, allowing him to undergo necessary medical evaluations.
Ohtani, who has a 10-year, $700 million contract, is a key player for the Dodgers, significantly impacting the team’s offensive capabilities.
