Shohei Ohtani suffers shoulder injury in World Series Game 2 vs. Yankees after failed stolen base attempt

Everything was going right for the Dodgers in Game 2 of the World Series against the Yankees before the seventh inning.

Up 4-1 with two outs and Shohei Ohtani on first base, the presumptive NL MVP attempted to steal second base, but Yankees catcher Austin Wells threw him out to end the frame. However, Ohtani stayed on the ground as a hush came through Dodger Stadium.

The trainers and manager Dave Roberts came out to see what happened to their superstar before he was helped up and went into the dugout holding his left arm.

The FOX broadcast reported that Ohtani left with a shoulder injury.

Ohtani has really picked up his production in the postseason after a slow start. He had four hits in the Dodgers’ NLDS series against the San Diego Padres before picking up eight hits in their NLCS series against the Mets.

In Game 1 of the World Series, Ohtani went 1-for-5 with a double, but his hit and getting to third base on an error by Gleyber Torres led to the Dodgers tying the game and eventually winning in extra innings. Before his exit on Saturday, Ohtani was 0-for-3 with a walk.

It’s unclear how severe Ohtani’s injury is but Game 3 is set for Monday at Yankee Stadium.
