Alex Wood Hits IL Dodgers Starting Pitch

And then there were two. Two pitchers from the Dodgers' originally-planned starting rotation remain active. These two: Julio Urias and the innings-limited Walker Buehler, who starts tonight at Houston.Clayton Kershaw's Blank Jersey club-record ninth Opening Day start was scratched last Thursday as the veteran left-hander was shelved with bad sorene s, David Price chose to opt out of Brandon Kintzler Jersey the season because of COVID-related i sues, and now Wood.

They don't need a replacement for Wood until Friday and management will cro s that bridge when they get to it.It's conceivable that Tony Gonsolin (optioned seven days Wander Suero Jersey ago) could have thrown on Saturday and be in line to start on five days rest Friday, although the stated reason for his demotion was that he hadn't worked much due to his late arrival in camp. How far could Gonsolin go Friday is not known. Two, three or perhaps four innings, I imagine.Mitch White Michael A. Taylor Jersey and Josiah Gray are po sibilities as well.

More will be revealed. We'll have the story as soon as there is one. .
