Shohei Ohtani appeared to suffer an injury while sliding into second base in the seventh inning of Game 2 of the World Series, a potentially damaging blow to the Los Angeles Dodgers as they look for a 2-0 lead in the best -of-seven series.

Ohtani was caught stealing second base to end the inning, but started slowly. He appeared to be in obvious pain, pointing to his left wrist or forearm.

Ohtani was escorted off the field by Dodgers manager Dave Roberts and an athletic trainer. It is unclear whether Ohtani, the Dodgers’ designated hitter and the favorite for the National League MVP award, will be able to continue playing in the game.

The Dodgers were leading 4-1 when Ohtani was injured.

A win would leave the Dodgers halfway to their first championship in four years and the New York Yankees desperate for a win in Game 3 Monday.

Dodgers starter Yoshinobu Yamamoto surrendered just one hit in 6.1 innings, allowing Juan Soto a solo home run for the Yankees’ lone run.
