The Dodgers have won two games in a row in the seven-game series of the World Series. The Yankees are in a tough position where if they don't win the next games, the pressure would only start building up for them more. However, in Game 2, the internet showed a different side of the Yankees fans who cheered about Ohtani's injury.

A group of Yankees fans were celebrating when Ohtani dislocated his shoulder bone, and other fans on the X post criticized such behavior.

Teoscar Hernandez and manager Dave Roberts react to Shohei Ohtani's injury

The Dodgers star slugger left the stadium within minutes of the Los Angeles Dodgers winning Game 2 against the New York Yankees. He didn't respond to any questions from the media and left in silence. However, manager Dave Roberts showed optimism about Shohei Ohtani's condition.

"The strength was great, the range of motion good," Roberts said. "So we’re encouraged. But obviously I can’t speculate, because we don’t have the scans yet. So once we get the scans, we'll know more."
"I’m not there," Roberts said. "I’m expecting him to be there. I’m expecting him to be in the lineup."

Even Shohei Ohtani's teammate Teoscar Hernandez talked about the atmosphere throughout the stadium when Ohtani suffered the injury.

"Not only the dugout, but the whole stadium was in silence," Hernandez said.

The status of Shohei Ohtani in Game 3 is unclear now, and the team will wait for the scans before they can judge anything.
