Andrew Vaughn in, Christian Yelich out in Game 1 NLCS lineup

In the National League Championship Series, the Milwaukee Brewers and Los Angeles Dodgers have announced their starting lineups. Jacob Misiorowski and Tarik Skubal will be taking the mound for the Brewers and Dodgers respectively. However, the biggest change in the batting order is the substitution of Andrew Vaughn for Christian Yelich at designated hitter for the Dodgers' left-handed pitcher, Tarik Skubal.

Christian Yelich had a strong performance during the National League Division Series, but Vaughn has only made two at-bats so far. There is a strong possibility that Yelich will still play in Game 1 after Skubal is done using the mound. Luis Lara will be replacing Sal Frelick at right field, who had started in the last three games of the National League Division Series.

The Milwaukee Brewers lineup features Jackson Chourio in left field, Brice Turang at second base, William Contreras catching, Andrew Vaughn at designated hitter, Garrett Mitchell as the first baseman, Cooper Pratt in center field, Luis Lara in shortstop, and Joey Ortiz in right field. For the Los Angeles Dodgers, Shohei Ohtani, known for his dual skills as a pitcher and hitter, has been moved to the cleanup spot in the lineup.

Mookie Betts will be playing shortstop, while Kyle Tucker, the team's high-profile offseason acquisition, will bat eighth. The Dodgers also have Kyle Tucker batting eighth and Max Muncy at third base.
