Shohei Ohtani’s Status for Dodgers in World Series Game 3 Revealed by Dave Roberts

Los Angeles Dodgers superstar Shohei Ohtani will play in Game 3 of the World Series despite suffering a shoulder injury on Saturday night, according to Dodgers manager Dave Roberts.

Ohtani sustained a shoulder injury in his left arm during a stolen base attempt in the seventh inning of Game 2. Roberts told ESPN’s Karl Ravech that Ohtani is “in a great spot and will be playing in Game 3 tomorrow.”

The designated hitter has a left shoulder subluxation and underwent tests immediately after the game as well as Sunday morning. The early test results were encouraging, according to Roberts.
