The Dodgers (62-43) look to fend off the red hot Astros (54-49) at Minute Maid Park Saturday to avoid a series loss.
The Dodgers will have to do this without Freddie Freeman. He was placed on the family emergency list and will not be back with the team this series.
The Dodgers called up catcher Hunter Feduccia from Triple-A Oklahoma City for his big league debut. He was currently OPSing .871 in 64 games in OKC.
Justin Wrobleski (0-1, 4.40 ERA, 14.1 IP) takes the mound for the Dodgers with the hope that he can collect his first win in the majors.
Houston right-hander Ronel Blanco (9-5, 2.75 ERA, 0.99 WHIP) lost to the Dodgers last season at Dodger Stadium in his only start against them.
Cavan Biggio starts at first base and bats eighth for the Dodgers in lieu of Freeman.
