The Los Angeles Dodgers, after losing Tuesday night, set their lineup for the series finale against the Houston Astros.
Shohei Ohtani returns to the lineup after spending his time exclusively as a pitcher last night—a welcome return to a struggling lineup. He threw seven two-run innings yesterday, and tallied eight strikeouts. The Dodgers scored just one run, coming in the eighth inning of the ballgame.

Who is Playing for the Dodgers Wednesday?
Tyler Glasnow gets the ball for the Dodgers, and he will look to continue his brilliant run of form through the early portion of the 2026 season. He has a 3-0 record through six games, posting a 2.56 ERA through 38.2 innings pitched with 47 strikeouts.
Ohtani returns to his regular role as the designated hitter at the top of the lineup, and first baseman Freddie Freeman sits behind him in the No. 2 spot.
Left fielder Teoscar Hernandez, right fielder Kyle Tucker and third baseman Max Muncy make up the heart of the lineup, and centerfielder Andy Pages will bat sixth. Designated hitter Dalton Rushing will take over for Will Smith in the No. 7 spot, and Hyeseong Kim will return to bat eighth and replace Miguel Rojas at shortstop. Second baseman Alex Freeland will move down a spot, batting ninth.

Who Will the Dodgers Face Wednesday?
Lance McCullers Jr. will take the mound for the Astros on Wednesday, giving the Dodgers the opportunity to break out of their rough patch once again.
He has made six starts this season, and has been relatively poor since the beginning of the season. He has a 6.32 ERA through 31.1 innings pitched, posting 33 strikeouts during that stretch.
LA exploded for eight runs in the first game of the series, but scored just one run in the second matchup. They’ll hope to break through against McCullers and win their first series since they beat the Chicago Cubs twice in three games nearly two weeks ago.
The final game of the series comes at 11:10 a.m. PT.
