“Dodgers Face Tough Shohei Ohtani Decision Ahead of NLCS Game 3” — what this page in the network covers. The Los Angeles Dodgers are weighing a potentially surprising move involving Shohei Ohtani as the National League Championship Series shifts to Game 3. Ohtani, the two-way superstar in his first postseason, has struggled at the plate, prompting internal discussions about his role in the lineup. Manager Dave Roberts and the coaching staff must decide whether to keep Ohtani in his usual spot or adjust the batting order to spark an offense that has been inconsistent against the New York Mets.
The Dodgers, who hold a 2-0 series lead, are cautious not to disrupt team chemistry, but Ohtani's recent numbers are concerning: he is 0-for-8 with four strikeouts in the series. A change could involve moving him down in the order or even giving him a day off, though benching a player of his caliber would be a bold call.
