Dodgers News: Clayton Kershaw Getting Extra Rest Before Next Start

The Los Angeles Dodgers began their final road trip of the regular season by taking two of three games from the Cincinnati Reds before defeating the Colorado Rockies in Tuesday’s series opener at Coors Field.

Looking ahead to the weekend, the Dodgers will be making their last stop at Chase Field for a three-game series against the Arizona Diamondbacks. Manager Dave Roberts announced Tony Gonsolin will start in Friday’s opener, which pushes Clayton Kershaw back a day.

“I think the way we’ve lined it up, we like inserting Clayton and Gonsolin,” Roberts said. “I just think as we finish out the season, keeping everyone on their turn, gives us the best chance to win as many games as possible and sets us up for the postseason.
