Ohtani in LA’s Game 3 Lineup: ‘Very Adamant He Was Going to Play’

October 28, 2024

Los Angeles, CA – Two-way sensation Shohei Ohtani will be in the lineup for the Los Angeles Angels in Game 3 of the American League Championship Series against the Houston Astros.

Ohtani, who was originally scheduled to start on the mound in Game 4, was scratched due to a sore shoulder. However, he has since been cleared to play and will bat fourth and play designated hitter in Game 3.

“He was very adamant that he was going to play,” Angels manager Phil Nevin said. “He’s a tough kid and he wants to be out there with his team.”

Ohtani is hitting .283 with 46 home runs and 100 RBIs this season. He is also 9-2 with a 2.33 ERA on the mound.

His presence in the lineup is a major boost for the Angels, who are looking to even the series at 1-1.

“He’s a game-changer,” Nevin said. “He can do it all. He’s a threat at the plate and on the mound. Having him in the lineup gives us a lot of confidence.”

Ohtani said he is excited to be back in the lineup and help his team win.

“I’m feeling good and I’m ready to go,” Ohtani said. “I want to help my team win this series and get to the World Series.”

Game 3 of the ALCS is scheduled for Friday, October 29, at Angel Stadium.
