DENVER — With the Dodgers in the midst of a stretch that will see them play a season-HIGH 19 games without a day off, manager Dave Roberts rested shortstop Mookie Betts on Wednesday and started Miguel Rojas in his place.
Shohei Ohtani, who was in Wednesday’s lineup as the starting pitching and designated hitter, is expected to sit out Thursday’s series finale, and outfielder Teoscar Hernández and catcher Will Smith probably will as well.
Relievers Kirby Yates and Tanner Scott both threw hitless innings in rehab appearances with triple-A Oklahoma City on Tuesday.
