Dodgers having ‘conversation’ to bench Shohei Ohtani amid slump, inury woes in NLCS

The Los Angeles Dodgers are weighing the possibility of removing Shohei Ohtani from their starting lineup as they trail 0-2 in the National League Championship Series. Manager Dave Roberts plans to meet with the designated hitter to discuss his recent struggles, which include a 3-for-20 postseason performance and a lack of extra-base hits.

Ohtani has been battling lingering knee and bicep issues since mid-season and has not recorded a home run since August 18. If the team decides to bench him, rookie Josue De Paula is considered the primary option to fill the role due to his strong plate discipline.
