Dodgers Set Opening Day Starting Pitching Rotation

Los Angeles Dodgers manager Dave Roberts confirmed the team’s starting pitching rotation for the upcoming season.

Per The Athletic’s Katie Woo, Roberts said Yoshinobu Yamamoto, Tyler Glasnow, Roki Sasaki, Emmet Sheehan and Shohei Ohtani would start with Justin Wrobleski available to piggyback and eventually make some starts.

The order isn’t yet available, but Yamamoto will be the Dodgers’ Opening Day starter, and Ohtani will make his first start of the year against the Cleveland Guardians next Tuesday. Glasnow is the most likely candidate to pitch the second game of the season, meaning Sheehan and Sasaki will probably pitch during the third and fourth games.
