The Los Angeles Dodgers reassigned right-hander River Ryan to minor league camp Wednesday, seemingly setting their Opening Day rotation.
With Ryan out of the picture for the time being, Blake Snell still wrestling injury and Gavin Stone still dealing with soreness in the shoulder he received surgery on, the Dodgers will likely have five returning rotation pieces as well as a surprise player joining them.
Those players are Yoshinobu Yamamoto, Tyler Glasnow, Shohei Ohtani, Roki Sasaki, Emmet Sheehan and dark horse inclusion Justin Wrobleski.
Yamamoto, Glasnow and Ohtani are the big names remaining in the Dodgers plans for the beginning of the regular season, and it’s no wonder they kept their spots.
