Seemingly, the starting rotation of the Dodgers continues to get healthier. Many fans of the team were curious to know how management would handle an overcrowded starting five, and they got their answer when Rich Hill was relegated to the bullpen just days before the All-Star break. Now, with the rotation appearing to be at full strength, followers are contemplating whether or not there’s enough firepower to make some noise in the playoffs.
Hill was assigned to relief duty when the club finally reinstated young righty Walker Buehler, who made his return from a rib microfracture in the opener of a three-game set against the Angels on Friday.
