Taylor is seemingly Tommy Edman’s replacement for the time being. Though, the Dodgers did call up infielder Hyeseong Kim.

Edman was placed on the injured list with right ankle inflammation. In a corresponding move, the Dodgers called up Kim.

Here’s the full Dodgers lineup that will face Braves right-hander Spencer Schwlenbach on the mound:

  1. Shohei Ohtani, DH
  2. Mookie Betts, SS
  3. Freddie Freeman, 1B
  4. Teoscar Hernández, RF
  5. Will Smith, C
  6. Max Muncy, 3B
  7. Andy Pages, CF
  8. Michael Conforto, LF
  9. Chris Taylor, 2B

Roki Sasaki will be on the mound Saturday for the Dodgers. The right-hander has a 3.35 ERA with 20 strikeouts and 18 walks across 25.1 innings pitched.

Sasaki has yet to record a win in his MLB career, but that could change against the Braves.

  1. Okay CT3….Here is your chance to prove your 2025 stats aren’t a fluke, We don’t need homeruns. We just need hitsl singles double whatever. That and solid defense which you have never shown a lack of in the past. You’re batting .285 in limited at bats. Now is the time to show you can take instruction. No more swinging for the fences. Just make contact and the kits will come. That is what we need from you now. Like Nike, Just do it!
