The Dodgers announced on Tuesday that designated hitter Shohei Ohtani underwent surgery to repair a torn labrum in his left shoulder. The organization expects Ohtani to be healthy for spring training in February.
This is not the first time one of the Dodgers standout players underwent this operation. Former Dodgers outfielder Cody Bellinger completed an operation in 2020. Both Ohtani and Bellinger endured these injuries during the postseason. For Bellinger, his celebration of a go-ahead home run in the 2020 National League Championship Series dislocated his right shoulder.
