On the 26th (27th Japan time), Dodgers pitcher Shohei Ohtani (30) started as the leadoff hitter and designated hitter in the second game of the World Series against the Yankees at home, with Yoshinobu Yamamoto (26) starting. He injured his left shoulder while sliding while trying to steal second base. About two minutes after the end of the game, he changed into casual clothes and left the stadium. Manager Roberts explained that it was a subluxation of the left shoulder, but emphasized that there were no major problems with muscle strength or range of motion, and that it was likely a minor injury. He is expected to undergo a detailed examination in the future.
The accident occurred in the 7th inning, with the score at 4-1 and a three-point lead. Up until his third at-bat, he had been held to a hitless 3-pointer with a fly ball to center field, a strikeout, and a grounder to shortstop, but with one out and no runners on base, he drew a walk and reached base. With two outs and a runner on first, he attempted to steal second base on the first pitch of T. Hernandez's at-bat, but was tagged out. He appeared to have hurt his left shoulder while sliding into second base, and was unable to stand up for a while, his expression clouded. Trainers approached him, and with a look of anguish on his face, he was supported by the trainers as he went behind the bench.
