Los Angeles Dodgers manager Dave Roberts told reporters on Tuesday that superstar Shohei Ohtani will be in the lineup for Game 3 of the National League Championship Series on Wednesday against the Milwaukee Brewers.
Roberts said he had a “great conversation” with Ohtani, who is a two‑time NL MVP but has been struggling in recent outings.
The Dodgers are looking to bounce back after a challenging start to the series, and Ohtani’s presence in the lineup is expected to bolster their offense.
Game 3 marks a pivotal moment in the best‑of‑seven NLCS, with the Dodgers trailing the Brewers and hoping to even the series as the teams head to Milwaukee.
Roberts did not disclose specific details of the discussion, but confirmed that Ohtani is cleared to play and will take his regular spot in the batting order.
