About as good of news as you can hope for after seeing him roll around in pain for 2 minutes.

Wow baseball is refreshing
if that was a King it would be 'lower body day to day' and then 'LTIR upper body injury'

It sort of looked like a stinger, the kind of stuff that happen to hockey players when they hit the glass weird. Hope thats all it is and returns soon. Unfortunately, it was his worse slide of the season, put all the weight on the arm when he slid instead of the butt. Usually you come down on your butt first, then use the arm as balance coming down and drag it.

I thought the game was over once Ohtani got injured. You could see the energy get sucked out of the stadium and the momentum shift in the game. I'm not expecting him back any time soon either, though it would be a nice surprise. That was a terrible decision to steal at that moment though, just brutal. Dodgers just can't catch a break with these injuries.

Disagree. He's got to steal there. His base stealing ability is only second to his power at the plate. Just an unfortunate injury. Hopefully nothing that will keep him out.
Interesting. Never noticed that he always drags his left hand behind him when he slides.

Exactly. You’re more likely to score a run with a guy on second and two outs than with a guy on first and two outs. The lead was only three against an elite offense (and that fifth run was pretty close to being absolutely necessary given what happened in the top of the ninth). Ohtani stole bases at a 95% clip this season. Just because the 5% probability happened doesn’t mean he shouldn’t have attempted it.

I agree about the decision to steal, didn't like it either.
The silver lining here is that it didn't happen in game 150 when he was chasing his milestone. They got a long October out of him. The Dodgers need to win 2 out of the next 5 games likely without him, but I think the way they are swinging the bats it's fair to be optimistic.

The lineup effect of no Ohtani is understated, though
Freddie got his opportunity because they shit their pants and walked Ohtani
not sure the lineup has the same intimidation factor without him, good hitting nonwithstanding

Oh agreed 100%, even if he's not hitting dingers his mere presence at the top of the lineup is hard to measure. The rest of the team is hitting, kike, teo, mookie, freddie all are seeing the ball well and getting results. I think gutting out 2 of 5 is doable even without sho.
They said range of motion and strength was good, that's very encouraging.
It was a hell of a game regardless. I fully expect the Yankees to take game 3 though. Too much at stake and first game in New York.

They said he looked good on the motion and strength checks. We won't really know until game day.

Last medical diagnosis I saw from Roberts is that Muncy would only be out a few days.
He was out three months.

If I can recall Bellinger had a similar injury, didn't miss a game, and blasted one at his first at bat after.

Then sucked for the next two years.
Doesn't matter. The Yankees can't pitch to him assuming that they won't. Even if it's for one game (and the Dodgers win), that would make a HUGE difference. Going up 3-0 is a whole heck of a lot better than 2-1 when Ohtani could then be out for the rest of the series.
I fully expect the Yankees to come out on fire but if Walker can shut them down like he has been this post season, that would be great.
