23 Jul
Summary
- Dalton Rushing returns to catch Eric Lauer on Wednesday.
- The Dodgers lineup is nearly identical to Tuesday's.
- Rushing is the current starting catcher due to Will Smith's injury.
The Los Angeles Dodgers are set to conclude their series against the Phillies on Wednesday evening. The pitching matchup features Aaron Nola for the Phillies against Eric Lauer for the Dodgers. The Dodgers announced their lineup for the series finale, which sees Dalton Rushing return to catch.
The Dodgers' starting lineup for July 22nd includes Shohei Ohtani at DH, Andy Pages in center field, Freddie Freeman at first base, Max Muncy at third base, Mookie Betts at shortstop, Teoscar Hernandez in left field, Kiersten Tucker in right field, Tommy Edman at second base, and Dalton Rushing at catcher. This order is very similar to Tuesday's, with only Edman and Rushing batting in the eighth and ninth spots.
Dalton Rushing has been a key player for the Dodgers this season, especially with Will Smith sidelined due to a neck injury. Rushing has batted .242 with 10 home runs and 30 RBI over 66 games. He continues to be the team's top catching option as Smith's recovery timeline remains uncertain.
