Shohei Ohtani is scheduled to be in the Los Angeles Dodgers' starting lineup for Game 3 of the National League Championship Series against the Milwaukee Brewers.
Evansville, IN, October 13, 2026 —
Shohei Ohtani is scheduled to be in the Los Angeles Dodgers’ starting lineup for Game 3 of the National League Championship Series against the Milwaukee Brewers, according to the information provided in the trend summary.
The summary identifies Ohtani and the two teams, and specifies that the game is Game 3 of the NLCS. It does not provide the game’s date or location, the scheduled start time, or details about the rest of the Dodgers’ lineup. It also does not say who confirmed Ohtani’s place in the starting lineup or when that information was made public.
No reason for the lineup designation is included, and the information does not describe Ohtani’s recent performance, health, or role in earlier games in the series. It also provides no details about the Brewers’ lineup or any other preparations for the game. Those circumstances therefore cannot be established from the available information.
The only reported lineup detail is that Ohtani is scheduled to start for Los Angeles against Milwaukee in Game 3. The trend summary does not indicate whether the lineup could change before the game, or provide a result or any subsequent developments. Further specifics about the matchup and the full lineups were not provided.
