According to the team, Ohtani underwent arthroscopic surgery in Los Angeles "to repair a labrum tear that resulted from a left (non-throwing) shoulder dislocation" during Game 2 of the World Series.
Ohtani injured the shoulder sliding while trying to steal second base in the seventh inning of the Oct. 26 game against the Yankees. Despite the injury, he played in all remaining games of the series, which the Dodgers won in five games, although Ohtani struggled at the plate.
"He is expected to be ready for spring training," according to the Dodgers.
