Shohei Ohtani Set to Play for Dodgers in Game 3 Against Brewers

Shohei Ohtani is confirmed to be in the Los Angeles Dodgers' lineup for Game 3 of the National League Championship Series against the Milwaukee Brewers, scheduled for Wednesday night.

Manager Dave Roberts indicated that Ohtani will bat in various positions from second to sixth as the Dodgers face a 0-2 deficit in the best-of-seven series. Ohtani expressed confidence in his ability to contribute, despite recent performance challenges, including a .150 batting average in the postseason.

Ohtani has been dealing with injuries, having spent time on the injured list due to left knee and right biceps issues. He acknowledged that he is not at full strength but intends to manage his condition during the playoffs.
