(UPDATE) NEW YORK — Shohei Ohtani's participation in Game 3 of the World Series will be a matter of pain tolerance according to Los Angeles Dodgers manager Dave Roberts, who fully expects him to play.
"That's my expectation given talking to the training staff and getting the reports," Roberts told reporters at Yankee Stadium, where the Dodgers take a 2-0 lead over the New York Yankees into Monday's (Tuesday in Manila) third game of baseball's best-of-seven championship showcase.
