Shohei Ohtani’s struggles throughout the postseason have become a concern for the Dodgers, who find themselves down 2–0 in the NLCS against the Brewers. The slumping superstar has collected just one hit during the series against the National League’s top team, and now reports have emerged indicating the team is considering putting him on the bench as the series shifts back to Los Angeles for Games 3, 4 and 5.
MLB insider Ken Rosenthal reported Monday, on the heels of the Dodgers’ 7–4 loss on the road in Milwaukee, that manager Dave Roberts intends to have a conversation with Ohtani about potentially leaving him out of the lineup for Game 3 on Wednesday.
