On Saturday, due to the Dodgers facing another southpaw starter in Payton Tolle, Kyle Tucker is getting the day off.

Here is the full Los Angeles Dodgers batting order for 8/1:

Dodgers 8/1: “S. Ohtani DH A. Pages CF T. Edman 2B F. Freeman 1B E. Hernández LF T. Hernández RF M. Muncy 3B M. Rojas SS D. Rushing C Y. Yamamoto SP”

Due to the southpaw Tolle going for Boston, manager Dave Roberts has opted to back the order with right-handed batters like Miguel Rojas, Kike Hernandez, and Tommy Edman (who is batting third).

The Dodgers are still hoping to get more production out of Kyle Tucker’s bat, but it hasn’t affect LA too much, as the Dodgers still hold a 10+ game lead in the NL West.
