Dodgers See Alex Call Exit Early<\/h2>\n

At this year\u2019s\u00a0MLB<\/a>\u00a0trade deadline, the\u00a0Los Angeles Dodgers<\/a>\u00a0made a few modest moves but did not make a blockbuster deal. Still, the Dodgers addressed areas of need by adding reliever Brock Stewart in a trade with the\u00a0Minnesota Twins<\/a>\u00a0and outfielder Alex Call\u00a0in a deal\u00a0<\/a>with the\u00a0Washington Nationals<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Call, 30, is under control through 2029 and can play all three outfield spots, giving manager Dave Roberts an extra tool to use at his disposal.<\/p>\n

Entering Tuesday\u2019s game against the\u00a0Cincinnati Reds<\/a>, Call had 10 hits in 35 at-bats while appearing in 18 games and forming a bit of a platoon with veteran Michael Conforto in left field.<\/p>\n

Call pinch hit for Conforto on Tuesday and hit into a fielder\u2019s choice before eventually scoring via a Miguel Rojas double to give LA a 5-1 lead.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, Call left the game after that inningand Justin Dean took his spot in the lineup.<\/p>\n

After scoring the run in the bottom of the sixth, Call was removed with no update from the team during the remainder of the game.<\/p>\n

\u201d Alex Call was removed from the game with an apparent injury\u2026There was no replay that showed what exactly happened but he was def struggling to run home on the Rojas double,\u201d Blake Harris\u00a0wrote on X<\/a>.<\/p>\n

After the game, Roberts revealed an update on Call, via Michael Duarte of NBC LA.<\/p>\n

\u201cDave Roberts said Alex Call injured his lower back running home on the Rojas\u2019 double. He called it \u201cnot too concerning\u201d and said he wants him in the lineup tomorrow,\u201d\u00a0Duarte wrote<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Call also told Roberts he played through worse, according to Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic, and the hope is that Call can be in the lineup on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

What Does the Left Field Rotation Look Like for LA?<\/h2>\n

While Call\u2019s injury doesn\u2019t appear major, at least according to Roberts\u2019 postgame comments, the left field position is still a question mark.<\/p>\n

Conforto is hitting under .200 on the season with nine home runs and 28 RBI, so Call getting playing time was beneficial, especially to Dodgers fans.<\/p>\n

Moreover, Call even brought some praise from Clayton Kershaw after he was acquired at the deadline, via\u00a0Jack Harris of The Los Angeles Times.<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve faced Alex a few times. \u201cHe\u2019s tough against lefties, a great defender. A good add, for sure.\u201d<\/p>\n

On the other hand, utilityman\u00a0Kike Hernandez returned from injury<\/a>\u00a0and was activated on Monday after missing nearly two months. Hernandez started at third base on Tuesday, but he can play several positions and has also played some outfield as well.<\/p>\n

\n

If Call does miss time, there could be a platoon of Hernandez and Conforto in left field as the final month of the regular season approaches.<\/p>\n
