The Los Angeles Dodgers kept right fielder Kyle Tucker out of their lineup for Sunday’s game after he exited Saturday’s win early.
Tucker fouled a ball off of his shin Saturday, and left the game shortly after. Manager Dave Roberts expected Tucker to return to the lineup Sunday, but the outfielder clearly isn’t fit to participate.
Who is Starting for the Dodgers?
The Dodgers are running a bullpen day on Sunday, and could have a few players fill in if needed. Jack Dreyer is getting the ball first for the Dodgers, making his second start of the season. He has a 3.19 ERA through 63 appearances with 68 strikeouts in 59.1 innings pitched.
Emmet Sheehan has a locker at Dodger Stadium as well, and could handle bulk for LA on Sunday.
Who is in the Dodgers’ Lineup?
Shortstop Mookie Betts remains in the leadoff spot for the Dodgers, and center fielder Tommy Edman shoots up the order to bat second. Left fielder Teoscar Hernandez bats third, and first baseman Freddie Freeman serves as the cleanup hitter.
Miguel Rojas enters the lineup as the second baseman and No. 5 hitter, and third baseman Max Muncy slides down the order to the No. 6 spot. Josue De Paula remains the team’s designated hitter, and following him are left fielder Kiké Hernandez and catcher Hunter Feduccia to round out the Dodgers’ lineup.
