LOS ANGELES — Yankees Second baseman Gleyber Torres noticed nothing out of the ordinary in the Dodgers’ seventh inning Saturday night when 50/50 charter member Shohei Ohtani attempted the first stolen base of the World Series.

The Dodgers already had a three-run lead and were looking for more insurance to help them get to the finish line to take a 2-games-to-none lead in this best-of-seven game.

Torres hurried to the bag, catcher Austin Wells’ throw was right there and tagged in Ohtani.

“I just tried to get out and didn’t really see what happened,” Torres said after the incident. Yankees lost 4-2.

“I saw him slide and go down,” Yankees first baseman Anthony Rizzo added.

The inning was over, but Ohtani collapsed on his back.

“The whole stadium went silent,” Dodgers left fielder Teoscar Hernandez said. “You know how great Shohei is to this team.”

Not long after, the Dodgers received a very encouraging update.

Preliminary imaging showed Ohtani had a shoulder subluxation; This is a partial dislocation that can be gently moved back into place.

That certainly beats a season-ending broken collarbone or separated shoulder.

“He had a little subluxation in his left shoulder, but his strength was great,” Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said. “The range of motion is good. So we are encouraged.”

Ohtani wasn’t out of the woods. He took a late-night flight from Los Angeles to New York with the Dodgers and had a viewing in New York on Monday.

“We’ll do some testing at some point and we’ll know more in the next few days,” Roberts added. “Obviously I can’t speculate because we haven’t gotten the scans yet. Once we get the scans we’ll know more. Again, having good strength and range of motion is definitely a positive.”

Roberts’ early prediction is that Ohtani will be available Monday night when the Yankees and Dodgers play Game 3 at Yankee Stadium.

This injury scare occurred on Ohtani’s slide.

“He slides his right foot forward on his left knee,” Roberts said. “That’s my guess. Then when he lowered his hand, it probably subluxed. That’s probably what it was.”

The Yankees were also hoping for the best, even though they knew Ohtani was opted out.

“First of all, you hope he’s fit for the sport,” Rizzo said. “You want your best players on the field. Obviously if they lose a guy like that it would be a big loss for their team.”

Added Yankees pitcher Carlos Rodon: “As a pitcher and a baseball player, you don’t want to see anyone get hurt. He is such an amazing actor. “This would be a heavy loss for them.”
