Summary
Dave Roberts said Shohei Ohtani will remain in Los Angeles' Game 3 lineup after the Dodgers opened the NLCS with two losses to Milwaukee.
Ohtani is batting .150 this postseason and went 0-for-4 with two strikeouts in Game 2, with no extra-base hit or RBI in the playoffs.
Roberts said Ohtani insisted he feels healthy enough despite left knee and right arm issues and told the manager he is close to fixing his swing mechanically.
The decision followed talks with president of baseball operations Andrew Friedman and GM Brandon Gomes, as the defending champions head into a near must-win game at Dodger Stadium.
