Dodgers News: Hyun-Jin Ryu Named Opening Day Starter, Ross Stripling To Start Second Game Against Diamondbacks

The Los Angeles Dodgers open up the 2019 regular season at home against the Arizona Diamondbacks on Thursday, beginning their quest to return to and win the World Series.

Up until this point, it was unclear who would be the starting pitcher on Opening Day for the Los Angeles Dodgers with Clayton Kershaw beginning the season on the injured list.

Dodgers manager Dave Roberts narrowed it down to either Rich Hill or Hyun-Jin Ryu on Thursday, but Hill is now dealing with a knee injury so he will also begin the season on the injured list as well.
