The Angels set their 2020 opening day roster on Thursday, opting for 16 pitchers, including two-way player Shohei Ohtani.
Ohtani will get the start on the mound on Sunday in Oakland, in the Angels’ third game of the season, and will likely start once a week. The Angels will use a six-pitcher starting rotation, beginning with Andrew Heaney, Dylan Bundy, Griffin Canning, Matt Andriese, and Patrick Sandoval in addition to Ohtani.
Heaney gets the ball on Friday night when the Angels opening their season against the Athletics in Oakland.
