The MLB’s best two-way player is down to just one arm for the time being … Shohei Ohtani had shoulder surgery this week — and as you can see, one of his wings is now immobilized by a sling.
Ohtani went under Dr. Neal ElAttrache‘s knife on Tuesday in L.A. to repair the labrum he tore while trying to steal a base in Game 2 of the World Series — and on Thursday, he appeared in OK spirits.

Rockin’ a burnt-orange cap and a pair of sweats, Ohtani’s left arm was held close to his body by a big ol’ brace — but he didn’t seem to be too hindered.
He walked out and about in Los Angeles without any assistance — and looked like he wasn’t in a whole lot of pain.
Ohtani, of course, fought through the ailment to play in Games 3, 4 and 5 of the Fall Classic … and helped the Dodgers win their second World Series since 2020.
While he’ll need the next few weeks to recover … L.A. says it’s anticipating him to be ready by spring training.
