Teoscar Hernandez is out of the Dodgers’ lineup for Sunday's series finale against the Arizona Diamondbacks due to recent performance struggles. Hernandez has recorded just three hits in his last 27 at-bats, prompting a lineup change for the home game. The team has penciled in Alex Call as the starting right fielder for the matchup. The Dodgers are attempting to avoid being swept at home, and the roster adjustment reflects a short-term response to sustained offensive struggles rather than an injury or rest decision. The move signals increased emphasis on current performance to determine everyday playing time.
The Los Angeles Dodgers will not have outfielder Teoscar Hernandez in the lineup for Sunday's series finale against the Arizona Diamondbacks.

"He's an everyday guy, but I think where we're at, you've got to perform too to warrant being out there every single day," Roberts said.
