Dodgers promote Josue De Paula for series opener against the Marlins

The Los Angeles Dodgers initiate a series against the Miami Marlins on September 11, 2026, marking the major league debut of prospect Josue De Paula. De Paula joins the lineup as the designated hitter in a batting order that features Tommy Edman, Max Muncy, Mookie Betts, and Kyle Tucker. While De Paula begins his tenure, the Dodgers continue to navigate lineup adjustments.

The left-handed pitcher has maintained a 1.82 FIP throughout his recent appearances. The Dodgers look to continue their current form as they integrate the newcomer against Miami pitching.
