Alex Call

27 August 2025

Nursing back injury

Manager Dave Roberts said that Call is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Reds due to a lower-back injury, Jack Harris of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Analysis

Call has been filling the small side of a platoon in left field but won't start against lefty Nick Lodolo on Wednesday due to the injury, which he sustained during Tuesday's 6-3 win. The Dodgers have a scheduled day off Thursday and are expected to face Diamondbacks righty Zac Gallen on Friday, so Call should have a couple days to recover before the next time Los Angeles faces a left-handed starting pitcher.
