Shohei Ohtani injury update: Dodgers star dislocates shoulder in World Series

Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said Ohtani had suffered a partial dislocation of his left shoulder on the play and would go for further testing – but the team was “encouraged” about their designated hitter’s outlook.

“Once we get the scans we’ll know more, but with his strength and range of motion good, that’s certainly a positive,” Roberts said after the Dodgers’ 4-2 win in Game 2 of the World Series.

Ohtani stayed down on the ground for a few moments and exited with a trainer holding his arm, which dragged behind him on the ground as he slid to avoid the tag from New York Yankees shortstop Anthony Volpe.
