Dodgers Adjust Lineup for Game 6 of World Series Against Blue Jays
The Dodgers are making adjustments to their lineup for Game 6 of the World Series against the Blue Jays. Tommy Edman is starting in center field, while Miguel Rojas is at second base. Rojas has had limited playing time this postseason but has shown some success at the plate. Edman, who has been dealing with an ankle injury, is getting a start in the outfield after playing second base in previous games.
Mookie Betts is moving down in the batting order to the cleanup spot for the first time in a while. Will Smith, who had a key home run in Game 2, is batting second behind Shohei Ohtani. The Dodgers have struggled to generate offense in this series, with only a few multi-hit innings so far. They will need to find a way to get hits and create energy to stay alive in the series.
Manager Dave Roberts emphasized the need for the team to compete and fight in the batter's box. The Dodgers have faced challenges in getting hits and scoring runs, going down in order in a significant number of innings. With Game 6 being a must-win situation for the Dodgers, they will need to step up their offensive game to stay in the series.
On the Blue Jays side, George Springer is back in the lineup after missing the last two games due to a right oblique injury. His return could provide a boost to the Blue Jays' offense as they look to close out the series.
