Dodgers Star Shohei Ohtani Injured in World Series Game 2
In a shocking turn of events during Game 2 of the 2024 World Series, Los Angeles Dodgers superstar Shohei Ohtani suffered a left shoulder injury while attempting to steal second base. The incident occurred in the seventh inning of the game, which the Dodgers won 4-2 against the New York Yankees. Dodgers manager Dave Roberts confirmed that Ohtani experienced a subluxation in his shoulder, although initial tests showed encouraging signs with good strength and range of motion. Further scans will determine the full extent of the injury.
Ohtani's injury comes during his first postseason appearance after a stellar regular season, where he hit 50 home runs and stole 50 bases. Despite undergoing elbow surgery last September, he remains a favorite for the NL MVP award. Roberts expressed hope for Ohtani's return to the lineup, stating, "I hope he's there. I hope he's in the lineup." Game 3 is set for Monday at Yankee Stadium, where the Dodgers will look to maintain their momentum in the series.
