The Los Angeles Dodgers have scratched outfielder David Peralta from Friday’s lineup against George Kirby and the Seattle Mariners.

Peralta, who was slated to bat in the six-hole, is dealing with an elbow issue after being hit by a pitch on Sunday, but was able to play during the series against the Padres.

However, clearly something flared up, causing him to be scratched just 20 minutes before first pitch.

Kiké Hernández replaced Peralta in the lineup, and will be batting 7th.

Here’s the new lineup in its entirety.

Updated lineup:

Betts 2B
Freeman 1B
Smith C
Muncy 3B
Martinez DH
Heyward RF
Hernández LF
Outman CF
Rojas SS
Miller P https://t.co/OaWT7GPYw7

We’ll continue to provide updates when we know more, but for now, we know Peralta will not be playing on Friday against the Mariners. Hopefully it’s nothing serious.
