Los Angeles Dodgers superstar Shohei Ohtani underwent arthroscopic surgery to repair a labrum tear that was sustained when he dislocated his left shoulder in Game 2 of the World Series, the club announced Tuesday.

Ohtani, the NL MVP favorite, is expected to be ready for spring training.

The procedure was performed in Los Angeles by Dr. Neal ElAttrache.

The 30-year-old suffered what was originally diagnosed as a slight dislocation on a stolen-base attempt during the Oct. 26 contest against the New York Yankees. He played the rest of the series, which lasted three more games before the Dodgers won the World Series.
