Chase Utley

Chase Utley sitting for Dodgers in Game 1 of NLCS

Los Angeles Dodgers second baseman Chase Utley is not in the lineup for Game 1 of the NLCS.

What It Means:

As the Dodgers host the Chicago Cubs in Game 1, they will be matched up with left-hander Jose Quintana, which forces Chase Utley to the bench and places Logan Forsythe in the starting lineup.

Utley went hit-less with 2 walks in 4 plate appearances in the NLDS. He's hit just .167 against left-handed pitching in 2017.
