The Los Angeles Dodgers say Shohei Ohtani will be fit to play as the World Series heads to New York on Monday.

Ohtani partially dislocated his left shoulder sliding into second base during the Dodgers' victory in LA on Saturday night, which put them up 2-0 up in the series. There were fears the Japanese star's season could be over, but on Sunday Dodgers manager Dave Roberts told ESPN that Ohtani will be available for Monday's Game 3 at Yankee Stadium.
