Ohtani will continue to lead off for the Dodgers, the same spot in the lineup that he has had throughout the postseason.
It's a quick turnaround for Ohtani, who suffered the injury while sliding into second base to end the seventh inning of Game 2. He rolled around in pain while grabbing his arm before being helped to his feet and walking back to the clubhouse.

While the Dodgers held on to win Game 2 and take a 2-0 series lead, finishing the job will be much trickier if Ohtani isn't his usual self. The likely NL MVP has three postseason home runs, and his double in the eighth inning of Game 1 helped set up the Dodgers' game-tying run before winning in extras.
First pitch for Dodgers-Yankees from Yankee Stadium in the Bronx is set for 8:08 p.m. ET.
