Who is in the lineup — and why is Shohei Ohtani not pitching?
Originally slated for his final pre-break start, Ohtani was scratched from the mound because of a lingering knee issue, Dodgers Nation reported. He will still hit as the designated hitter and will miss the All-Star Game, giving him more than a week between pitching appearances.
With Ohtani not pitching, Los Angeles turned to a bullpen opener. Right-hander Kyle Hurt gets the start. Max Muncy is rested against lefty Eduardo Rodriguez ahead of his third All-Star appearance. Tommy Edman moves to third base and Miguel Rojas starts at second.
Why does this first-half finale matter?
Los Angeles is trying to carry baseball's best record into the break after winning five straight series, including a walk-off over Colorado on Wednesday. Arizona, at 46-47 and tied with San Diego for second in the division, needs momentum after splitting a four-game set in San Diego.
On the mound, Rodriguez enters at 2.25 ERA and has held the Dodgers to one run in 11 innings across two 2026 starts. The Diamondbacks offense is led by Ketel Marte and Corbin Carroll. For the Dodgers, this is the last chance to pad their NL West cushion at home before a long road trip.
