Dodgers Prioritized Rest Over Matchup With Giants For Julio Urias, Walker Buehler & Max Scherzer

After dropping a weekend series to the Colorado Rockies, the Los Angeles Dodgers continue their homestand by welcoming the Atlanta Braves for three games.

Julio Urias is scheduled to start in the series opener, and he’ll be followed by Walker Buehler and Max Scherzer the next two games. Each pitcher will be throwing on five days’ rest, which has been the norm for most Dodgers starters when they take their turn this season.

Despite getting an extra day of rest, both Buehler and Urias remain lined up to face the San Francisco Giants in this weekend’s pivotal three-game series at Oracle Park.
