Shohei Ohtani’s current hitting slump is drawing attention from across the Dodgers organization, with manager Dave Roberts saying the team needs to get him “on track.” The slump is also affecting broader Dodgers offensive production as they try to maintain momentum in games where Ohtani is not generating the impact the team expects.
Both outlets attribute the focus to Ohtani’s recent performance and its knock-on effect for the lineup, rather than to a specific injury report or single game incident. Roberts’ comments frame the issue as an ongoing performance challenge and a priority for the Dodgers moving forward. The coverage aligns in emphasizing that stabilizing Ohtani’s form is central to both the club’s day-to-day offensive output and his chances in postseason and year-end award conversations.
While the headlines differ slightly in emphasis, they present the same core point: Ohtani’s slump is material enough that it is being treated as a key storyline, and Roberts is directly acknowledging the need for improvement.
