The Los Angeles Dodgers face the Arizona Diamondbacks on July 10, 2026, with Shohei Ohtani serving solely as the designated hitter due to knee issues. Ohtani's absence from pitching will also keep him out of the upcoming All-Star game. Max Muncy is rested for this matchup against lefty Eduardo Rodriguez, allowing Tommy Edman to shift to third base. The Dodgers plan to utilize a bullpen opener, with Kyle Hurt scheduled to start after effective performances in relief. His outing may influence his roster spot as the season progresses.
