Los Angeles Dodgers Kim Hye-sung is out of the lineup again.

The Dodgers will play the first of three consecutive away games against the St. Louis Cardinals at Busch Stadium on the morning of the 7th (Korea time). Kim Hye-sung starts from the bench.

The Dodgers formed the lineup in the order of Shohei Ohtani (designated hitter), Mookie Betts (striker), Freddie Freeman (first baseman), Teoscar Hernandez (right fielder), Max Muncy (third baseman), Andy Parz (center fielder), Michael Confoto (left fielder), Tommy Edman (second baseman), and Dalton Rushing (catcher).




Rookie Rushing wore a starting mask as Will Smith, the main catcher, took a break on the day.

It should be noted that Triple-A Oklahoma City outfielder James Outman came up after a home game against the New York Mets the previous day. Earlier, utility man Esteury Lewis was also called up from Triple-A, but the two players were not officially listed on the big league roster. He accompanied the team with a 'taxi quad' in preparation for possible injuries.

Edman and Kim Hye-sung are the players who have been raised to the possibility of injury. Both Edman and Kim Hye-sung have poor feet.

Kim Hye-sung is said to be in pain after being hit by his left ankle by a foul in the second inning against the Mets on the 4th. As a result, he missed the Mets game on the 5th and 6th in a row. However, manager Dave Roberts continues to say Kim Hye-sung is fine. Roberts said, `Kim Hye-sung and Edman are healthy. Lewis and Outman will go back to Triple-A Oklahoma City."

Local media Dodger Blue reported 'Finally James Outman appeared in the locker room of the clubhouse yesterday. However, it is a temporary measure and qualifies as a taxi squad. There are no potential injuries to Tommy Edman and Kim Hye-sung.

However, Edman started as second baseman on this day, and Kim Hye-sung is still on the bench.
