Dodgers Victorious but at a Cost
The Los Angeles Dodgers emerged victorious against the New York Yankees, clinching a 4–2 win in Game 2 of the World Series on Saturday. However, the celebration was somewhat muted following the injury of superstar Shohei Ohtani, who was forced to exit the game after suffering a subluxation of his left shoulder while sliding into second base at the end of the seventh inning. An injury like this can raise concerns, but the team’s management has reason for optimism.
Positive News from Manager Dave Roberts
Following the game, Dodgers’ manager Dave Roberts provided an encouraging update on Ohtani’s condition, stating that the tests conducted revealed promising signs regarding his injury. Roberts expressed his expectation for Ohtani to return and take the field in the World Series, a statement that surely brought relief to Dodgers fans everywhere. After the injury risks and uncertainties, it’s refreshing to know Ohtani is, in fact, ready for action.
Dodgers manager Dave Roberts tell me, Shohei Ohtani is “in a great spot and will be playing in game 3 tomorrow.”
