Who is in the Dodgersâ Lineup on Monday?
Justin Wrobleski will look to steady the ship in Mondayâs game and continue his solid run of form. The left-hander has only allowed one run in his two starts this season, and has given up just four hits through 13 innings during that stretch.
Designated hitter Shohei Ohtani remains at the top of the lineup, and right fielder Alex Call makes a surprise appearance batting second. Catcher Will Smith will bat third as per usual, and left fielder Teoscar Hernandez is batting cleanup once again.
How do the Dodgers Match Up Into the Opposing Pitcher?
Left-hander Jose Quintana will take the mound for the Rockies, looking to improve on his rough start to the 2026 season. He has a 5.63 ERA through eight innings pitched, and has struck out just three batters so far this season.
The Dodgers stacked their lineup with right-handers for the game, including both Espinal and Rojas over the left-handed Hyeseong Kim and switch-hitting Alex Freeland, who has rough splits against lefties.
How Important is This Game?
The Dodgers must win their game against the Rockies on Monday, as theyâve let their lead slip at the top of the NL West early in the season. After taking a several game lead at the top of the division, their last two losses have allowed the San Diego Padres to claw themselves to 0.5 games back.
With a win, LA will ensure they head to their next series against the San Francisco Giants atop the division.
The final game of the Dodgersâ series against the Rockies comes Monday at 5:40 p.m. PT.
