The LA Dodgers officially announced on the 6th (Korea time) that Ohtani performed surgery on his left shoulder at a hospital in downtown LA. Dr. Neil Elatrice, his doctor, performed arthroscopic surgery, and the Dodgers ended the surgery successfully", he explained.
Ohtani played as a first-designated hitter in Game 2 of the World Series against the New York Yankees on the 27th and suffered a left shoulder injury while sliding to second base. He announced at the time that he was suffering from atrophy, but even after Game 3, Ohtani continued to play. The Dodgers won the World Series, and Ohtani seems to have been on the operating table after playing additional schedules such as a city parade with his teammates.
The Dodgers added that `Otani is expected to be able to participate in spring training.'
Ohtani had surgery on his right elbow last year and was on the operating table for the second consecutive year as he had dislocated his left shoulder in a year. However, the response is that it is surprising to continue playing the World Series game with pain.
Ohtani has been preparing to return to the pitching and hitting business next year. After elbow surgery, he started playing catch from March this year and played a step-by-step pitching return program. Ohtani is still expressing his desire to work as both a pitcher and a batter. As it is expected that there will be no problem in participating in the spring camp, it is expected to resume personal training after recovering the surgical site.
