Los Angeles Dodgers superstar Shohei Ohtani suffered a partial dislocation of his left shoulder during Game 2 of the World Series against the New York Yankees. In the seventh inning, Ohtani was thrown out attempting to steal second base and landed awkwardly on his slide, jamming his left arm into the ground. He remained on the field in obvious pain before being assisted off by a trainer and heading to the clubhouse. Dodgers manager Dave Roberts reported that Ohtani sustained a subluxation of his left shoulder and will undergo further testing, including an MRI scheduled for Sunday. Roberts expressed cautious optimism, saying, 'We're encouraged,' noting that Ohtani's strength and range of motion were good during initial evaluations. The severity of the injury remains unclear, and his status for Game 3 is uncertain. Despite the setback, the Dodgers defeated the Yankees 4-2, taking a 2-0 lead in the World Series.
