Bellinger had to head for the locker room after a hard mid-air collision with second baseman Enrique Hernandez in celebration, and it turned out that he’d dislocated his shoulder.

“I’m good,” he said. “I hit Hernandez’s shoulder a little too hard, and my shoulder popped out. I had to go back into the trainer’s room and they popped it back in so I could go play defense. It kind of hurt. I’m gonna use my left arm. I’ve never dislocated that one.”
The Dodgers will take on the Tampa Bay Rays in the World Series, which will get underway Tuesday night from Los Angeles.
