Dodgers scratch Dalton Rushing and Max Muncy from Saturday lineup

The Los Angeles Dodgers scratched Dalton Rushing and Max Muncy from the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Washington Nationals. Rushing, who recently returned from a four-week stint on the injured list with a partial tear of the UCL in his right elbow, was sidelined due to recurring elbow soreness. He had tested his arm with various throwing drills before the team made the decision. Max Muncy was removed from his scheduled start at third base because he is ill. In response to the roster changes, the team moved Teoscar Hernández from left field to designated hitter. Alex Call was inserted into the lineup to play left field, while Kiké Hernández took over at third base.
