Heading into the 2018 season, the Los Angeles Dodgers figure to once again boast one of the Majors’ best starting rotations, headlined by ace Clayton Kershaw and fellow southpaws Rich Hill and Alex Wood.
Rounding out the back end is a plethora of depth that include the likes of top prospect Walker Buehler, Kenta Maeda, Hyun-Jin Ryu, Brock Stewart and Ross Stripling.
Potentially joining the mix down the road is Julio Urias, who saw his 2017 campaign cut short after undergoing surgery to repair a torn anterior capsule in his left shoulder last June.
Urias’ initial timetable for a full recovery was 12-14 months, which would line him up for a return to the mound later this summer.
