Dodgers’ Shohei Ohtani to pitch in Game 3 of World Series: report

Good news, Dodger fans!

Dodgers superstar Shohei Ohtani is expected to play in Game 3 al World Series against the Yankees on Monday, ESPN reports.

The news comes after Ohtani partially dislocated his left shoulder in the seventh inning of Saturday’s Game 2 while trying to steal second base.

Los Angeles manager Dave Roberts said Ohtani “had a little subluxation of his left shoulder” and would be tested either Saturday night or Sunday. In an update Sunday, Roberts said Ohtani is “in a great place.”

The Dodgers held on for a 402 win and lead the series 2-0.

The Japanese slugger – and presumptive National League MVP – was 0 for 3 with a walk in the game. He is 1-for-8 through the first two games of the Fall Classic and is hitting .260 with three home runs and 10 RBIs in his first postseason in the majors.
