Dodgers Face Doubleheader After Rain Halts Yankees Game
19 Jul
Summary
- Dodgers to play a doubleheader after Saturday's game was postponed.
- Shohei Ohtani will not pitch against the Yankees in New York.
- Kiké Hernández is on a rehab assignment and may rejoin the team soon.
The Los Angeles Dodgers are scheduled for a Sunday doubleheader against the New York Yankees, prompted by the postponement of Saturday's game due to significant rainfall. Yoshinobu Yamamoto has been named the starting pitcher for the initial game, while the team has not yet revealed their choice for the second contest.
Shohei Ohtani's pitching duties will not commence in the Bronx; his next pitching start is anticipated for Wednesday when the Dodgers are in Philadelphia. Ohtani has not taken the mound since July 3, holding an 8-2 record with a 1.79 ERA over 14 starts this season.
Additionally, Kiké Hernández, who has been sidelined since May 27 with an oblique strain, is currently on a rehab assignment. He is expected to rejoin the team during their next homestand.
The Yankees, with their storied history of 27 championships, are known to have high expectations, making their recent 2024 World Series loss to the Dodgers a particularly difficult outcome.
