NEW YORK —
Shohei Ohtani wasn’t with the Dodgers as they left the ballpark and headed to the airport on Saturday night, staying back in Los Angeles to get an MRI exam on the left shoulder he partially dislocated in Game 2 of the World Series.
But, before the group was even in the air, Ohtani let his teammates know he wouldn’t be far behind.
“He texted the whole team as we were on our way to the airport and said he was going to be fine [and] he was going to play,” third baseman Max Muncy said.
