The Los Angeles Dodgers adjusted their lineup before their game against the Toronto Blue Jays on Tuesday. Miguel Rojas was scratched from the starting roster, with Hyeseong Kim stepping in as shortstop.
Lineup Changes for Dodgers vs. Blue Jays
This adjustment took place just before the game, which started at 7 p.m. ET (4 p.m. PT). Rojas, who has had a modest start to the season, was replaced despite having played in a previous game.
Player Performance and Stats
- Miguel Rojas: 5-for-19 this season with one double.
- Hyeseong Kim: Recalled from the minors and starting for the first time this season.
- Kim’s Performance: 2-for-5 in his first game in the lineup on Tuesday.
The 37-year-old Rojas entered the previous game as a pitcher in the ninth inning, making for an interesting late-game scenario. Meanwhile, Kim, now 27 years old, was called up to fill the roster spot vacated by the injured Mookie Betts.
Hyeseong Kim’s Background
In the previous season, Kim demonstrated solid performance with a batting average of .280, along with an on-base percentage of .314 and a slugging percentage of .385 over 71 games.
This swift lineup change reflects the Dodgers’ strategy to manage player injuries while maintaining competitive performance against teams like the Blue Jays.
