LOS ANGELES (AP) --- Shohei Ohtani will be in the Los Angeles Dodgers' lineup
for Game 3 of the National League Championship Series against the Milwaukee
Brewers on Wednesday night.
Manager Dave Roberts said Tuesday that Ohtani will bat anywhere from second to
sixth with the Dodgers trailing 0-2 in the best-of-seven series.
Ohtani is hitting .150 (3 for 20) over six postseason games. He has seven
strikeouts, three walks and one stolen base with no home runs, no RBIs and an
OPS of .411.
He hasn't homered since Aug. 18 at Colorado.
Roberts spoke to Ohtani before the team worked out at Dodger Stadium. He said
it wasn't about benching the Japanese superstar, but rather offering him time
off similar to Freddie Freeman in 2024. Freeman was ailing, he took time off to
reset and ended up earning MVP honors as the Dodgers won the World Series.
