The Los Angeles Dodgers will play their second game against the Minnesota Twins without two starters. Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports that Kyle Tucker and Dalton Rushing are out of the starting lineup.

With Tucker and Rushing out of the lineup, that likely means Alex Call and Chuckie Robinson will start. The Dodgers face off against Twins right-hander Joe Ryan.

Tucker left the game in the second with back spasms. He said after the game that it wasn’t as bad as the one he had in 2021. Dodgers manager Dave Roberts ruled out a stint on the injured list and listed him as “day-to-day”.

Rushing exited the game after taking a foul tip on the game’s first pitch. Roberts said the 25-year-old passed the concussion protocol tests but was unlikely to be in the lineup. They’ll also bring up a catcher to their taxi squad just in case.

First pitch at Target Field is set for 4:40 pm PT, unless the weather causes a delay. The tarp is currently over the infield at Target Field, with Ardaya not being optimistic about the forecast allowing for a game.
