Despite the compressed season, Dodgers manager Dave Roberts expects to stick to a 5-man rotation.
We will find out the specifics of the Los Angeles Dodgers schedule this week, but we already know it will be compressed with 60 games expected to be played in 66 or 67 days. Beyond that, there is concern about pitchers staying healthy after stretching out their arms in March, before shutting everything down due to the pandemic, only to start back up again.
While many teams are expected to utilize a six-man rotation to ease their starters into the season, the Dodgers won’t be one of them.
