Dodgers Manager Dave Roberts told Karl Ravech of ESPN that Shohei Ohtani (shoulder) is in “great shape” and will be ready to play in Game 3 of the World Series against the Yankees on Monday.
Ohtani hurt his shoulder on a slide into second base on a steal attempt in the eighth inning of the Game 2 win for the Dodgers, and appeared to be in significant pain. The 30-year-old superstar appears to have avoided the worst, and he should hit at the top of the lineup Monday against the Yankees and Clarke Schmidt in New York.
