Patrick Corbin was the scheduled starter, but he’s being kept away from a divisional rival, so will make a minor-league start today instead. This likely also explains why there’s a DH in our line-up, even though it’s two National League teams playing each other. We’ll likely get three inning or so out of Chafin, then fill out the rest of the game as appropriate.
Two big names return to the line-up this afternoon though: Pollock is back from his groin issue, and Goldschmidt returns from his role in the World Baseball Classic on the bench for Team USA.
