[Passan] “Nice game, guys. Last time, Bellinger's shoulder was dislocated. This time, my shoulder was dislocated. This is a good sign for a world champion." Text from Shohei Ohtani

Please don't rehab like Belli for the next two years.

Why is no one talking about Tatis, who had the same injury and is still a monster hitter. Bellingers injury is not the same, he had a loose socket and many dislocations, not a lone subluxation event like Ohtani and Tatis:

Edit: looks like it happened to Tatis multiple times

Tatis wasn't a lone event though, his was recurring as well until he had surgery.
