Dodgers' Shohei Ohtani to play in Game 3 of World Series: report
LOS ANGELES - Good news, Dodger fans!
Dodgers superstar Shohei Ohtani is expected to play in Game 3 of the World Series against the Yankees Monday, ESPN reports.
The news comes after Ohtani partially dislocated his left shoulder during the seventh inning of Saturday’s Game 2 when he tried to steal second base.

Los Angeles manager Dave Roberts said Ohtani "had a little left shoulder subluxation" and would get image testing either Saturday night or Sunday. In an update Sunday, Roberts said Ohtani was "in a great spot."
The Dodgers held on for a 402 victory and lead the Series 2-0.
The Japanese slugger — and presumptive National League MVP — was 0 for 3 with a walk in the game. He is 1 for 8 in the first two games of the Fall Classic and is batting .260 with three home runs and 10 RBIs in his first postseason in the majors.
