NEW YORK (AP) — Shohei Ohtani will play for the Los Angeles Dodgers in Game 3 of the World Series at Yankee Stadium, manager Dave Roberts told ESPN.
Ohtani partially dislocated his left shoulder sliding into second base when he was caught stealing to end the seventh inning of Saturday night’s 4-2 victory in Game 2 at Los Angeles.
But the superstar slugger has been cleared to play Monday night, Roberts told ESPN in a text message Sunday.
Los Angeles holds a 2-0 lead in the best-of-seven Series and is two wins shy of its second championship in five years.
