Shohei Ohtani is set to play for the Los Angeles Dodgers in Game 3 of the World Series at Yankee Stadium on Monday night despite a partially dislocated left shoulder, according to manager Dave Roberts. Ohtani planned to take some swings at Yankee Stadium during the Dodgers’ workout on Sunday night. Roberts said pain tolerance was the key factor. Roberts says: “I just don’t see him not playing Game 3” and adds “if he feels good enough to go, then I see no reason why he wouldn’t be in there.” Ohtani did not travel with the team to New York in order to undergo imaging. He was on a separate flight.
