What a relief. LA Dodgers pitcher Shohei Ohtani (30) is expected to play normally in Game 3 of the World Series. However, there are still people who are worried.

At the press conference, manager Dave Roberts also gave a positive response. “I feel better today than yesterday. I think tomorrow will be better than today,” Roberts said, adding that he had a positive view of starting the third game.
Ohtani’s injury situation is as follows. Ohtani, who started as the first designated hitter in the second game between the New York Yankees and the WS at Dodger Stadium on the 27th, injured his left shoulder in the bottom of the seventh inning. He slid while touching the ground with his left arm. The result was out. Ohtani complained of shoulder pain. Then Roberts and his trainer came out to check Ohtani’s condition. Ohtani could no longer play. He was replaced by a trainer.
Fans who filled the Dodger Stadium fell into complete silence after suffering Otani’s injury. It is precisely the injury suffered from a dislocated left shoulder.
Opinions were divided locally. Some said Ohtani’s injury was serious, while others said it would be minor.
A day later, Ohtani’s injury was not reported to be serious, and the Dodgers swept their chests.
However, some people are still worried. He is Dodgers’ first base coach Clayton McCuller.
“Honestly, it was the best steal start this year,” he recalled.
“I don’t know if I was sliding or touching the base, or when I was injured,” Ohtani said. “However, from a distance, Ohtani’s appearance was different than usual. He also had a bad start to stealing bases.”
He did not have conversations with Ohtani after the injury. Roberts said he could play in Game 3, but McCuller still looked worried. It is a question mark whether he will be able to steal bases even if he plays in the game.
