Shohei Ohtani is in the lineup for the Dodgers in Game 3 of the World Series, batting lead off as the DH.
There was some concern that Ohtani would miss this game after he injured his shoulder while sliding into second base in Game 2. The Dodgers did say on Sunday that he was trending in the right direction, and the team will in fact have their star ready to go. While there could be some risk of re-aggravation and perhaps Ohtani doesn’t steal as much the rest of the series, we shouldn’t expect much of a dip in production, which is great news for Dodgers fans.
