Dodgers shuffle lineup as Kyle Tucker slumps early in season

In San Francisco, four weeks into the MLB season Kyle Tucker has not appeared comfortable in his Dodgers debut. Manager Dave Roberts made his first significant lineup change, moving Tucker and Freddie Freeman to different spots in the order to spark production, with Tucker shifted between the Nos. 2 and 4 spots. Roberts cited Tucker being 'just not comfortable' in his Dodgers debut as a reason for the shuffle.

Tucker, the Dodgers' high-profile free-agent addition, enters the move with a .233 batting average, three home runs and 13 RBIs. The team indicated further lineup adjustments could follow as it seeks to unlock Tucker and the offense.
