# Ohtani stays in Dodgers lineup for NLCS Game 3

*Dave Roberts said Shohei Ohtani was adamant he could help despite a postseason slump and injury concerns.*

Shohei Ohtani will remain in the Los Angeles Dodgers lineup for Game 3 of the National League Championship Series, manager Dave Roberts told ESPN.

The Dodgers trail the Milwaukee Brewers 2-0. Ohtani went 0-for-4 in Game 2 and has not homered since August 18, but Roberts said the two-way player was “adamant” he could help the team win.
