Superstar slugger Shohei Ohtani is expected to play Monday in Game 3 of the World Series following an injury to his shoulder, according to manager Dave Roberts.
The Dodgers were victorious Saturday against the New York Yankees with a 4-2 victory, now leading the series 2-0 against their East Coast foe.

“The strength was great, the great of motion was good so we’re encouraged,” he said.
