World Series: Dodgers star Shohei Ohtani expected to play in Game 3 after shoulder injury

Shohei Ohtani should be good to go for Game 3 of the World Series.

Los Angeles Dodgers manager Dave Roberts told reporters on Sunday that Ohtani, who sustained a shoulder injury on Saturday in the team's Game 2 win over the New York Yankees, is "in a great spot" and should be available to play Monday in the Bronx.

Roberts said he didn't have specific tests results available to him, but he was going off of what his training staff was telling him and Ohtani "feeling good" on Sunday morning.

“I think that he’s obviously very well aware of himself and his body, so if he feels good enough to go, I see no reason why he wouldn’t be in there,” Roberts said.
