Los Angeles Dodgers tweak lineup for Boston Red Sox series

The Los Angeles Dodgers lost the opening game of their weekend series against the Boston Red Sox 9‑4, prompting manager Dave Roberts to adjust the lineup for the next contests. In Game 2, shortstop Mookie Betts was rested and outfielder Kyle Tucker also sat out, with Miguel Rojas starting at shortstop.

For the series finale, both Betts and Tucker returned to the starting nine. Betts resumed his role at shortstop, while Tucker started in right field. Andy Pages took center field and Teoscar Hernández played left. The changes came as the Dodgers, holding the best record in MLB at 69‑42, continued to chase a third straight World Series title and remained linked to a potential trade for Detroit Tigers pitcher Tarik Skubal.
