Dodgers keep infielder Miguel Rojas on their NLCS roster against the Brewers
On Sunday, Shohei Ohtani took batting practice at American Family Field, working to rediscover his swing before the National League Championship Series opener against the Milwaukee Brewers.
Following a 2-for-13 performance in the NLDS, the four-time MVP enters the series aiming to regain form against Brewers ace Jacob Misiorowski in Game 1.
Dodgers manager Dave Roberts expressed confidence in the slugger Saturday, saying "If hes in the batters box, hes still a threat." Roberts believes Ohtani remains dangerous despite recent struggles.
Regarding roster decisions, Roberts expects infielder Miguel Rojas to join the NLCS roster despite a back injury, while the team plans to balance personnel at 13 pitchers and 13 position players.
Game 1 of the series begins at 5:00 p.m. PDT today at American Family Field, launching the best-of-seven matchup between the Dodgers and Brewers throughout the coming week.
