Shohei Ohtani expected to play Game 3 of the World Series after shoulder injury scare

NEW YORK —

The Dodgers took a collective sigh of relief on Sunday.

After Shohei Ohtani left Game 2 of the World Series with a partially dislocated left shoulder, the team’s hope is that he’ll be back in the lineup for Game 3 on Monday.

Manager Dave Roberts told ESPN on Sunday afternoon that Ohtani was “in a great spot” less than 24 hours after leaving Game 2 on Saturday with a shoulder subluxation, which he suffered while trying to steal second base in the seventh inning.
