The Dodgers boarded their flight to New York late Saturday night, but Ohtani is expected to undergo his examination in Los Angeles and then fly out to New York to meet the team. The Dodgers will play Games 3, 4 and, potentially, 5 from Yankee Stadium on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday.
Asked if he believed the Dodgers were equipped to sustain the loss of Ohtani -- given how they have overcome injuries to other key hitters, including Mookie Betts, Max Muncy and, most recently, Freddie Freeman -- Roberts said: "I'm not there. I'm expecting him to be there. I'm expecting him to be in the lineup."
