Shohei Ohtani Has Shoulder Surgery To Repair Labrum 

Post#1 » by RealGM Wiretap » Wed Nov 6, 2024 12:55 pm

Shohei Ohtani underwent shoulder surgery Tuesday to repair a labrum tear sustained during the World Series, the Los Angeles Dodgers announced.

The team expects Ohtani to be ready for Spring Training.

Ohtani suffered what the team initially described as a subluxation of his left shoulder on an attempted steal of second base in Game 2 of the World Series on Oct. 26.

He played in the next three games of the series -- going 1-for-11 -- as the Dodgers clinched the championship.

Prior to the injury, the Dodgers were hoping Ohtani could restart his throwing program earlier than usual this offseason in anticipation of him returning to a two-way role in 2025.
