Dodgers News: Clayton Kershaw Named Starter For 2018 Opening Day

Los Angeles Dodgers pitchers and catchers reported to Camelback Ranch on Tuesday for the start of Spring Training.

While position players aren’t set to report to camp until Sunday, Feb. 18, a handful has already checked in. The list extends to the reigning National League Rookie of the Year Cody Bellinger, Matt Kemp and Justin Turner, among others.

Though Cactus League play isn’t set to begin for two weeks, Dodgers manager Dave Roberts has already named Clayton Kershaw as the club’s 2018 Opening Day starting pitcher, barring any unforeseeable injuries, via Bill Plunkett of the Southern California News Group:

Vicente Padilla remains the last pitcher other than Kershaw to start for the Dodgers on Opening Day (2010).
