**Dodgers Tap Glasnow, Ohtani for NLCS Games 3 & 4; Roberts Teases Potential Ohtani Bullpen Role**

MILWAUKEE – The Los Angeles Dodgers will turn to Tyler Glasnow and Shohei Ohtani to anchor their pitching rotation as the National League Championship Series (NLCS) shifts to Dodger Stadium this week. Manager Dave Roberts announced Tuesday that Glasnow will take the mound in Game 3 against the Milwaukee Brewers, followed by Ohtani in Game 4.

Glasnow, who last pitched on Thursday, delivered a dominant performance in the Dodgers’ division series-clinching Game 4 against the Philadelphia Phillies. Ohtani, while having not pitched since the Wild Card round against the Cincinnati Reds on October 4th, has been a fixture as the team’s leadoff hitter and designated hitter throughout the postseason.

Roberts hinted at the possibility of Ohtani contributing from the bullpen later in the series. “Shohei has been fine with rest,” Roberts said. “Potentially lines him up if we need a Game 7 out of the pen.” Glasnow also has experience relieving Ohtani, throwing 1 2/3 scoreless innings in the Wild Card game.

The Dodgers currently lead the NLCS 1-0 after a narrow 2-1 victory in Game 1 at American Family Field. Games 3 and 4 will be held at Dodger Stadium on Thursday and Friday, respectively, as the defending champions aim for their fifth World Series appearance in the last nine seasons.

The Milwaukee Brewers have yet to announce their pitching plans for Games 3 and 4.
