Los Angeles Dodgers right fielder Kyle Tucker stepped back into the lineup for the final game of their series against the Milwaukee Brewers.
Manager Dave Roberts left Tucker out of the order on Saturday, as he has struggled at home since the beginning of the season.
Saturday’s game against the Brewers ended in disappointment, as the offense failed to get going and scored only one run against NL Cy Young favorite Jacob Misiorowski. They’ve only managed eight runs over the past three games, and have to turn things around Sunday to split the series against the Brewers.
Who is Pitching for the Dodgers?
Tarik Skubal will make his second home start as a Dodger on Sunday, and will look to show off his best stuff in the start. Skubal kicked off his Dodgers tenure with two solid starts, but is still yet to perform at his best. Through two starts, the left-hander has a 4.09 ERA through 11 innings, striking out 12 batters.
His last start came against the Kansas City Royals on Monday, where he allowed three earned runs through five frames.
Who is in the Dodgers’ Lineup?
Shohei Ohtani leads off as the Dodgers’ designated hitter, and first baseman Freddie Freeman maintains the No. 2 spot against a right-hander. Center fielder Andy Pages follows him, and third baseman Max Muncy moves to the cleanup spot.
Shortstop Mookie Betts bats fifth, and Tucker returns to the order to take the No. 6 spot as the right fielder. Tommy Edman remains at second base but moves down to the seventh spot, and left fielder Teoscar Hernandez also moves down a spot to No. 8. Ben Rortvedt returns to the lineup and will bat ninth.

Who is Pitching for the Brewers?
The Brewers are bringing the heat for the last game of the series, as Logan Henderson will start for the visitors. The right-hander has had a fanatstic season so far, posting a 2.88 ERA through his 11 starts on the season.
Henderson last pitched against the Dodgers in May, posting five scoreless innings while striking out seven. The Dodgers will look to avoid the same fate Sunday, as they look to bust out of their offensive rut.
