Kim Hye-sung of the Los Angeles Dodgers did not make the starting lineup for the fourth consecutive game. Despite being a right-handed starting pitcher, he is on the bench.

The Dodgers announced their starting lineup for the game against the San Diego Padres at Petco Park in San Diego, California, on the 11th (Korean time).

The Dodgers' starting lineup included Shohei Ohtani (designated hitter), Mookie Betts (shortstop), Freddie Freeman (first baseman), Teoscar Hernández, Max Muncy (third baseman), Andy Pahos (center fielder), Michael Conforto (left fielder), Tommy Edman (second baseman), and Dalton Rushing (catcher). The starting pitcher for the Dodgers is Lou Trivino.

Trivino is a relief pitcher with a record of 1 win and a 3.97 earned run average (10 earned runs in 22⅔ innings) over 20 games and will pitch in a bullpen game.

Kim Hye-sung was excluded from the starting lineup that day. After being in the starting lineup for three consecutive games from the game against the St. Louis Cardinals on the 8th to the game against San Diego the previous day (10th), and performing with 4 hits in 9 at-bats and 3 RBIs, he failed to be included in the starting lineup for the fourth consecutive game. Kim felt disappointment from the game against San Diego the previous day. He started as the ninth center fielder and, in the 5th inning, trailing 5-6, hit a game-tying double to right field against the Japanese left-handed pitcher Yuki Matsui. However, when the left-handed Adrian Morejon came to the mound in the 8th inning, Kim was replaced by the right-handed hitter Kiké Hernández, finishing the game. Despite hitting a double off the left-handed pitcher, he was substituted as a left-handed pitcher came in.

On that day, even with the right-handed starter Dylan Cease pitching, he was not included in the starting lineup. Cease has appeared in 13 games this season, recording 1 win and 5 losses with an earned run average of 4.72.

San Diego's starting lineup included Fernando Tatis Jr. (right fielder), Luis Arraez (first baseman), Manny Machado (third baseman), Jackson Merrill (center fielder), Gavin Sheets (designated hitter), Xander Bogaerts (shortstop), Jake Cronenworth (second baseman), Tyler Wade (left fielder), and Martín Maldonado (catcher).
