28.10.24 Los Angeles Dodgers: Injuries
Shohei Ohtani, who partially dislocated his left shoulder, is expected to be in the lineup for Game 3 of the World Series on Monday night. Ohtani suffered a subluxation while sliding into second base to end the seventh inning of Saturday's 4-2 win over the New York Yankees in Game 2.
Ohtani injured in Dodgers' win
27.10.24 Los Angeles Dodgers: Injuries
Shohei Ohtani suffered a minor shoulder dislocation during a steal attempt, raising concerns about his World Series availability. Despite this, Dodgers manager Dave Roberts was "encouraged" after their 4-2 win over the Yankees, taking a 2-0 lead in the series. Ohtani's initial tests were positive, and he's scheduled for an MRI on Sunday.
Ohtani rules out pitching return
25.10.24 Los Angeles Dodgers
Los Angeles Dodgers star Shohei Ohtani will not be making a dramatic return to the mound to face the New York Yankees. "There is no possibility, none whatsoever," Dodgers manager Dave Roberts confirmed. Ohtani hasn't pitched since major elbow surgery in September 2023 and has been serving exclusively as a designated hitter this season.
Rizzo's broken fingers better
24.10.24 NY Yankees: Injuries
New York Yankees first baseman Anthony Rizzo appreciated the days off between the ALCS and World Series as he recovers from two broken fingers on his right hand. "The biggest thing is getting the swelling out," Rizzo explained in a video call on Wednesday. "The bones are still broken, but reducing the swelling has been key. Hopefully, we'll battle our best in the series."
Cortes expects to be on World Series roster
23.10.24 NY Yankees: Injuries
Nestor Cortes is aware of the long-term injury risk if he pitches in the World Series, just a month after being diagnosed with a flexor strain, which can often lead to serious elbow injuries. Nonetheless, he expects to be on the New York Yankees' roster for Game 1 against the Los Angeles Dodgers on Friday. "We have considered the consequences this could lead to," Cortes said, "but if I end up with a ring and then a year off baseball, then so be it."

League format : MLB 2024
During the regular season, games are played mainly against teams within each league through an unbalanced schedule, which heavily favors divisional play. Twelve teams will qualify for the postseason, with the division winners seeded 1 through 3, and three wild cards seeded 4 through 6 in their respective leagues. The top two seeds in each league will receive a bye into the Division Series. The other four teams in each league will play best-of-three series, with the higher seed hosting all three games.
The No. 1 seed plays the winner of the 4-5 series, and the No. 2 seed plays the winner of 3-6 in a best-of-five playoff round to determine the final two teams from each league, who then play in the League Championship Series. The champions of each league meet in the World Series to declare an overall Major League Baseball winner. The World Series and League Championship Series are best-of-seven playoff rounds.
