LOS ANGELES — Dodgers superstar Shohei Ohtani partially dislocated his left shoulder during the seventh inning of Saturday’s Game 2 of the World Series against the New York Yankees while trying to steal second base.

Ohtani’s status for Monday’s Game 3 in New York is unclear. Los Angeles manager Dave Roberts said Ohtani “had a minor subluxation of the left shoulder” and would undergo an imaging test on Saturday evening or Sunday.

Ohtani clutched his left forearm after being tagged by shortstop Anthony Volpe for the final out of the inning on a feet-first slide. He lay with the bag for a few minutes before being attended to by trainers and leaving the field.

“We will know more in the coming days,” Roberts said. “The strength was great. The range of motion was good, so we’re encouraged. But obviously I can’t speculate because I don’t have the scans yet. So once we get the scans, we’ll know more.”

The Dodgers held on for a 4-2 victory and led the Series 2-0.

The Japanese superstar – and presumptive National League MVP – went 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 hitting .260 with three home runs and 10 RBIs in his first postseason in the majors.

Most of Ohtani’s injuries since coming to the Majors in 2018 have been pitching-related, including major surgeries on his right elbow in 2018 and last year. The two-way phenom didn’t pitch this year, but became the first player in Major League history with at least 50 home runs and 50 stolen bases in a season.

In September 2019, he had surgery on his left kneecap due to a rare and congenital condition. The procedure took place on his two-piece patella, or a two-piece kneecap that did not fuse at birth.

Ohtani missed the 2017 World Baseball Classic after ankle surgery due to an injury suffered during the 2016 Japan Series.
