LOS ANGELES — Shohei Ohtani underwent successful surgery on Tuesday on the left shoulder he injured during Game Two of the World Series and will be ready for spring training, the Dodgers said.
The Japanese pitcher-hitter dislocated his shoulder while attempting to steal second base in the seventh inning and needed help leaving the field but returned to play the rest of the series, which the Dodgers won 4-1 over the New York Yankees.
“Shohei Ohtani today underwent successful arthroscopic surgery, performed in Los Angeles by Dr. Neal ElAttrache, to repair a labrum tear that resulted from a left shoulder dislocation Oct. 26,” the team said in a statement. — Reuters
