Ohtani spoke about his shoulder injury in a postgame presser.
One win away from a World Series title, the Los Angeles Dodgers are thankful to have Shohei Ohtani in the lineup, as injured as he may be.while trying to steal a base in Game 2 against the New York Yankees, gritted his way through a Game 3 outing on Monday night in which he went hitless., Ohtani was 0-for-3 with a walk and was hit by a pitch, and he was visibly uncomfortable while swinging at the plate.
After the Dodgers’ 4-2 win, Ohtani spoke briefly about his injury and told reporters “the pain has subsided,” an encouraging update all things considered. “I taped myself up today, so it did feel different compared to when I don’t tape myself,” Ohtani said, via his interpreter. “The last at-bat, I felt like if I took that ball it would have been a walk, so I still felt like I had a pretty good at-bat there.”
Ohtani also provided details about what he was wearing before the game, saying that he was told by trainers to wear a device “that keeps my shoulder warm.”After his injury scare in Game 2, Ohtani remained the designated hitter and opened the night with a leadoff walk before being brought home by Freddie Freeman’s two-run homer, helping Los Angeles extend their series lead at Yankee Stadium.
