Ohtani to play in Dodgers' next NL matchup despite injuries

Shohei Ohtani will continue to feature in the Los Angeles Dodgers' lineup for the third National League game against the Milwaukee Brewers, despite his recent difficulties at the plate. Ohtani has managed only three hits in 20 postseason at-bats while dealing with knee and biceps injuries. The Dodgers currently trail the Brewers two games to none in this National League contest.

The Dodgers have struggled recently, losing their last two games against Milwaukee by scores of 4-7 and 1-2. Their overall form includes three losses and two wins in the last five matches, with defeats coming in both home and away fixtures. The team competes in Major League Baseball's National League West Division and is based in Los Angeles.

Milwaukee, meanwhile, has won three of its last five games, including both opening matches against the Dodgers. Their recent victories have helped them establish an early lead in this National League challenge. The Dodgers will look to respond when they host the Brewers on 15 October in their next Major League Baseball encounter.
