Sitting after three straight starts
Call is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Phillies.
Analysis
Call had started each of the Dodgers' last three games following Teoscar Hernandez's (hamstring) placement on the injured list, going 3-for-9 with a double, a walk, two RBI and a run. The 31-year-old is now holding down an .800 OPS over 70 plate appearances on the season, and the Dodgers may continue to lean on him as a near-everyday player in the outfield while Hernandez is on the shelf. Ryan Ward will replace Call in left field for Sunday's series finale, however.

In line for uptick in playing time
Call is expected to see an increase in playing time in left field for the Dodgers while Teoscar Hernandez (hamstring) is sidelined, Katie Woo of The Athletic reports.
Analysis
Hernandez is expected to miss at least a few weeks after injuring his left hamstring, but more will be known about his timetable following an MRI. Enrique Hernandez (oblique) is also shelved, leaving Call as the top option in left field for the Dodgers. Call has been productive when given opportunities this season, slashing .294/.413/.373, though he has yet to notch a home run or a stolen base.
