After getting through the rough part of their schedule, the Los Angeles Dodgers have had four scheduled off days in the last two weeks.
Because of that, Dodgers manager Dave Roberts has been able to rearrange his starting rotation to give pitchers extra rest in order to keep them fresh from the entirety of a 162-game season and potential postseason.
It also gives the team a chance to give any pitchers that are banged up some extra time to heal, and that was the case for right-hander Kenta Maeda.
Maeda tossed a gem in his last start on May 15 against the San Diego Padres, giving up just three hits in 6.
