A Slumping Shohei Ohtani Dropped to Sixth as Dodgers Face Brewers in NLCS Game 3
The two-time defending champions trail 2-0 in the series while Ohtani battles injuries and a .150 postseason batting average, prompting consideration of benching the star.
- On Wednesday, October 14, Dodgers manager Dave Roberts dropped Shohei Ohtani to 6th in the batting order for NLCS Game 3 as Los Angeles trailed Milwaukee 2-0 in the series.
- Ohtani has struggled significantly this postseason, batting.150 with seven strikeouts while battling lingering right biceps and left knee injuries that have limited his capacity since July.
- Dodgers shortstop Mookie Betts said, "It's hard to see," the slump, while manager Roberts stated, "I do feel the talent, the care—it's going to happen."
- Following the Game 3 loss, the Dodgers considered rookie outfielder Josue De Paula as a potential replacement; De Paula had thrived at Double-A Tulsa during the regular season.
- Ohtani responded with a 428-foot home run in Game 4 on Thursday, yet the Dodgers' overall offensive struggles persisted, resulting in an elimination sweep by the Milwaukee Brewers.
