The Los Angeles Dodgers are looking to sweep the Minnesota Twins on Wednesday and start their nine-game road trip with three straight wins.

The Dodgers took Monday's series opener, 2-1, and then dominated on Tuesday night in a 12-3 victory.

On Wednesday, the Dodgers have two-way star Shohei Ohtani taking the mound as a pitcher and leading off as the designated hitter. The Dodgers are off on Thursday, which was likely a big factor in that decision.

After Thursday's off day, the Dodgers begin a three-game set with the San Diego Padres.

Dodgers Starting Lineup

Shohei Ohtani, DH
Andy Pages, CF
Freddie Freeman, 1B
Mookie Betts, SS
Max Muncy, 3B
Alex Call, RF
Ryan Ward, LF
Dalton Rushing, C
Alex Freeland, 2B

Outfielder Kyle Tucker, who exited Monday's game in the top of the second inning and didn't play Tuesday, remains out of the lineup, as expected.

Dalton Rushing, who was cleared from concussion protocol but hasn't played since exiting in the third inning of Monday's game, is back behind the plate.

Elsewhere, Tommy Edman is getting the day off, with Freeland starting at second base and Call starting in right field.

Ward is back in left field while the top of the lineup remains unchanged.
