The Los Angeles Dodgers are considering whether to bench Shohei Ohtani for Game 3 as his postseason struggles continue with the team trailing 2-0 in the National League Championship Series. Manager Dave Roberts said the possibility would be discussed, while reports also cited concern about an injury affecting Ohtani.

The Dodgers have publicly maintained that they are not panicking, though concern has grown around their superstar’s performance. Yahoo Sports argued in an opinion column that benching Ohtani was the clear choice, while other coverage framed the decision as an open question for the team.
