Shohei Ohtani Prepares for NLCS Rematch Against Brewers

Shohei Ohtani and the Los Angeles Dodgers face the Milwaukee Brewers in the NLCS. Ohtani will not pitch due to knee inflammation and biceps discomfort, having not pitched since July 3, but remains active as the designated hitter. He looks to rebound from a 2-for-13 slump in the NLDS against Atlanta. Hitting coach Aaron Bates praised Ohtani's extended batting practice as he adjusts mechanics to face Brewers ace Jacob Misiorowski in Game 1 of the series.
