When the Japanese baseball player attempted to steal second base in the seventh inning, he injured himself.
He is now doubtful for the Game 3 in New York on Monday.
According to Dave Roberts, manager of Los Angeles, Ohtani “had a little left shoulder subluxation” and testing would be conducted.
More information will be available in the coming days.
“It was very strong. We are encouraged since the range of motion is good.
Since we haven’t received the scans yet, I can’t speculate, of course. Therefore, we will know more after we obtain the scans.
Shortstop Anthony Volpe tagged Ohtani for the last out of the inning on a feetfirst slide, and Ohtani grasped his left forearm.
After lying close to the bag for a few minutes, trainers attended to him and he left the field.
With a 4-2 triumph, the Dodgers maintained their 2-0 series advantage.
Ohtani’s interpreter was charged in April with embezzling nearly $16 million (£12.75 million) from the Dodgers star in order to pay off gambling debts.
After allegedly stealing money from an account that Ohtani helped set up, Ippei Mizuhara was charged with bank fraud.
