Source: Dodgers' decision on Ohtani's status for G3 of NLCS hinges on health

MILWAUKEE -- The Los Angeles Dodgers plan to gauge whether superstar Shohei Ohtani 's lingering injuries warrant him sitting out Game 3 of the National League Championship Series but will continue playing him if he deems himself healthy, a source told ESPN. Ohtani went 0-for-4 with two strikeouts in a 7-4 loss to the Milwaukee Brewers in Game 2 on Monday that put the Dodgers in a 2-0 hole in the best-of-seven series. Afterward, Dodgers manager Dave Roberts told The Athletic he would have "a conversation" with Ohtani during Tuesday's workout in L.A.
