The Los Angeles Dodgers, riding high after a 14-2 shellacking of the Toronto Blue Jays on Monday, were forced into a last-minute lineup shuffle just before Tuesday night's rematch. Veteran infielder Miguel Rojas was scratched due to a family matter, a sudden change for a team tied for the best record in the National League.
Rojas, a consistent presence this season, will be replaced by Hyesong Kim, who is set to make just his third appearance for the Dodgers in 2025. This late adjustment adds an unexpected wrinkle to a marquee interleague series between two historic franchises.
The Dodgers' offense was firing on all cylinders in the series opener, with Teoscar Hernandez, Freddie Freeman, and Shohei Ohtani leading a 14-run barrage. They'll look to carry that momentum into Tuesday's game, even with the altered infield alignment, as they continue their strong early-season push.
