There was a special reason. Coach Dave Roberts said in an interview with local media including "The Athletic" before the game that Betts was excluded due to toe pain.

According to Roberts, Betts injured his toe at home two days ago during an away game against the Cleveland Guardians.

It is a day to day situation, but on this day, he was excluded because he was too uncomfortable to play. He will undergo an X-ray examination.

The Dodgers announced the lineup of Shohei Ohtani (designated hitter), Teoscar Hernandez (right fielder), Will Smith (catcher), Freddie Freeman (first baseman), Andy Farggs (midfielder), Tommy Edman (second baseman), Kike Hernandez (third baseman), Michael Conforto (left fielder) and Miguel Rojas (striker).

Kim starts the game on the bench. Except for the starting pitcher for three consecutive games.

Meanwhile, Roberts also revealed that right-hander Evan Phillips will undergo Tommy John surgery. He said Phillips recently resumed pitching training but "didn't go right."
