With a little over a week until Opening Day of the 2019 season, Los Angeles Dodgers manager Dave Roberts has yet to reveal who will be starting on the mound against the Arizona Diamondbacks.
At the beginning of the spring, Roberts named Kershaw the Dodgers’ Opening Day starter. It was due to extend his franchise-record to a ninth consecutive year of taking the ball in a season opener.
Kershaw has since been dealing with a shoulder injury and has not pitched in a Spring Training game though, so it has been clear for the last couple of weeks he likely would not be ready for Opening Day.
