Shohei Ohtani exits Game 2 in potential Dodgers injury disaster
Shohei Ohtani exited Saturday’s Game 2 of the World Series with an injury.
The Dodgers’ star slugger walked off the field with training staff after being called out on a steal attempt to end the seventh inning.
He appeared to jam his left shoulder on the attempt, his second of the postseason.
The injury sent Dodger Stadium into quiet in the midst of a 4-1 Los Angeles lead over the Yankees.
Losing Ohtani would be a massive blow to Los Angeles’ title hopes, as the likely National League MVP is the centerpiece of the high-priced Dodgers offense.
Ohtani, a dual-threat player in the first year of a 10-year, $700 million contract with LA, had surgery on his right elbow in Sept. 2023 that has kept him from taking the mound this season.
