DENVER\u00a0\u2014\u00a0With the Dodgers<\/a> in the midst of a stretch that will see them play a season-HIGH 19 games<\/a> without a day off, manager Dave Roberts rested shortstop Mookie Betts<\/a> on Wednesday and started Miguel Rojas in his place.<\/p>\n

Shohei Ohtani, who was in Wednesday\u2019s lineup as the starting pitching and designated hitter, is expected to sit out Thursday\u2019s series finale, and outfielder Teoscar Hern\u00e1ndez and catcher Will Smith probably will as well.<\/p>\n

Relievers Kirby Yates and Tanner Scott both threw hitless innings in rehab appearances with triple-A Oklahoma City on Tuesday. Yates struck out one and gave up a walk, while Scott walked a batter and struck out two. Both could rejoin the Dodgers this weekend in San Diego, Roberts said.<\/p>\n

Utility player Kik\u00e9 Hern\u00e1ndez, on the injured list since July 7 with left elbow inflammation, was expected to make his first rehab start Wednesday.<\/p>\n

Before Wednesday\u2019s game, the Dodgers also recalled right-hander Paul Gervase from Oklahoma City and optioned right-handed Alexis Diaz. Gervase, 25, acquired from Tampa Bay at the trade deadline, appeared in five games with the Rays this season, striking out six batters in 6.1 innings.<\/p>\n

D\u00edaz, 28, was 1-0 with a 5.00 ERA in nine games for the Dodgers. A former National League all-star, he was acquired on May 29 from the Cincinnati Reds in exchange for minor league pitcher Mike Villani.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"DENVER\u00a0\u2014\u00a0With the Dodgers in the midst of a stretch that will see them play a season-HIGH 19 games…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":83793,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[558],"tags":[64,63,53317,63097,45758,5138,1862,63095,591,63096,63098,32224,5886,85,5787,9357,63094,28333,41313],"class_list":["post-83792","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-mlb","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-batter","tag-catcher-will-smith","tag-dodger","tag-dodgers","tag-game","tag-lineup-change-wednesday","tag-mlb","tag-rehab-appearance","tag-relievers-kirby-yates","tag-roberts","tag-san-diego","tag-sports","tag-tanner-scott","tag-thursday","tag-triple-a-oklahoma-city","tag-tuesday","tag-wednesday"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/83792","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=83792"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/83792\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/83793"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=83792"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=83792"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=83792"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
