Dodgers’ Shohei Ohtani responds to narrative that injuries are impacting his playoff performance

The Los Angeles Dodgers are sticking with Shohei Ohtani despite his slump. On Tuesday while speaking to reporters, manager Dave Roberts confirmed that Ohtani will be in the Game 3 lineup . Some have wondered if Ohtani’s previous injury concerns are impacting his performance in the National League Championship Series against the Milwaukee Brewers. Shohei told reporters on Tuesday that any lingering injury issues are not the reason for his struggles at the plate. “I take full responsibility,” Ohtani said via interpreter, according to Jon Morosi of MLB Network.
