The Los Angeles Dodgers announced today's lineup for their game at the Atlanta Braves, per the club's official account.
The card arrives with some notable rotation context hanging over it. Roki Sasaki exited a start in Atlanta in the 4th inning with a blister on his right middle finger and is headed to the 15-day IL, per beat reporter Fabian Ardaya and subsequent club reporting. Dustin May also exited a recent outing after a 106 mph comebacker struck him in the back after just one pitch. The Dodgers' rotation has absorbed a pair of early departures in short order.
Meanwhile, Shohei Ohtani's return to pitching remains contingent on how his next bullpen session goes, keeping that timeline fluid.
What to watch
The lineup itself has not been detailed beyond the club's post. What remains unconfirmed is the specific construction of the batting order and any corresponding roster moves tied to the Sasaki IL placement.
