Shohei Ohtani Will Be in Dodgers' Game 3 Lineup Against Brewers
Dave Roberts said Ohtani is ready to go after the star went 3-for-20 in the postseason, with Los Angeles seeking to even the NLCS.
- Los Angeles Dodgers manager Dave Roberts confirmed on Tuesday that Shohei Ohtani will remain in the lineup for Game 3 of the National League Championship Series against the Milwaukee Brewers, with the Dodgers trailing 0-2.
- Ohtani has struggled significantly while playing through nagging knee and biceps injuries, collecting just three hits in 20 postseason at-bats with seven strikeouts. The injuries forced him onto the injured list in September.
- Following a conversation with Ohtani on the off day, Roberts expressed conviction in the superstar's mechanical adjustments. "The word I would use is conviction: He was very convicted that he's on to something mechanically," Roberts told reporters.
- Roberts dismissed any idea of benching Ohtani, instead comparing the approach to how the Dodgers managed Freddie Freeman's ankle injury during their 2024 championship run, when Freeman took two days off to reset.
- With Game 3 scheduled for Wednesday at Dodger Stadium, the Dodgers remain committed to supporting Ohtani as he attempts to break out of his slump and help the team avoid elimination in their championship quest.
