The Los Angeles Dodgers shuffled their lineup around for their series finale against the Miami Marlins on Wednesday.
The Dodgers lost Tuesday’s matchup against the Marlins, spoiling a solid Shohei Ohtani start with a toothless offensive showing. Miami has held the Dodgers to just six runs over the last two games, and only needed two of their own to take the victory on Tuesday.

Who is Playing for the Dodgers Wednesday?
Tyler Glasnow is coming off of his best start of the season and will look to make a similar impact on the mound for the rubber match. He pitched eight scoreless innings in his last start against the San Francisco Giants, striking out nine batters and allowing just one hit and one walk.
Ohtani returns to the Dodgers’ lineup after serving exclusively as a pitcher Tuesday, and reclaims his regular spot at the top of the lineup as a designated hitter. First baseman Freddie Freeman keeps his No. 2 spot, and center fielder Andy Pages moved up to third in the lineup.
Right fielder Kyle Tucker will bat cleanup for the Dodgers, followed by third baseman Max Muncy and catcher Dalton Rushing—who is giving catcher Will Smith an opportunity to recover at the end of a stretch of 13 consecutive with a game.
Shortstop Hyeseong Kim bets seventh for the Dodgers, Alex Call makes a rare start in left field and will bat eighth and second baseman Alex Freeland will round out the lineup.

Who Will the Dodgers Face on the Mound?
The Marlins will field their ace, Sandy Alcantara, for the series finale on Wednesday.
The former Cy Young winner has made six starts on the season and is showing he still has the capabilities to be great after a couple of middling seasons. He has a 3.05 ERA through six starts this season, posting 27 strikeouts in 41.1 innings, and has a complete game shutout under his belt already.
The Dodgers have historically hit Alcantara pretty well, with LA managing a .348 average with 11 homers against the right-hander in his career. They’ll look to get the bats going early on Wednesday to win their second consecutive series. First pitch this afternoon comes at 12:10 p.m. PT.
