Dodgers Post Lineup vs. Brewers for Today's Game
The Dodgers released today's lineup against Milwaukee, though the specific batting order details were not included in the post.
The Los Angeles Dodgers announced today's lineup for their game against the Brewers, per the club's official account — though the actual names and order are behind a link rather than spelled out in the post itself.
The release lands in the middle of a stretch that has been, to put it charitably, a lot. The Dodgers have dropped 9 of their last 13 games, with an 89 wRC+ and a 4.81 xFIP from the bullpen in August, per earlier Posterior reporting. Manager Dave Roberts flagged pregame yesterday that essentially all of the bullpen is overworked, which is the kind of sentence that makes lineup construction feel like a puzzle with several pieces missing.
The Díaz situation, still unresolved
Edwin Díaz loaded the bases before escaping in a 3-1 win over Milwaukee on Friday, adding another chapter to a closer situation that Roberts has declined to resolve publicly. Díaz carries an 11.57 ERA and the club has indicated no immediate plans to move him out of the role — in part, Roberts suggested, because no clear high-leverage alternative exists on the current roster.
One thread worth watching
Shohei Ohtani had a positive bullpen session, and the Dodgers have indicated they expect him to pitch in the regular season after completing additional bullpen and live sessions. That timeline remains unconfirmed beyond what the club has outlined, but it is the most significant potential relief — in every sense — on the horizon.
