Shohei Ohtani is experiencing a significant hitting slump, prompting Dodgers manager Dave Roberts to potentially bench him as a hitter for the next two games. Ohtani, who has struggled with a .200 batting average over the past month and only one home run in his last 107 plate appearances, will pitch but may take a break from hitting to help him reset. Roberts noted the challenge of managing Ohtani’s dual role and emphasized the need for rest to improve his performance. The manager aims to be proactive in addressing Ohtani’s struggles before they worsen.
