As has been widely repeated by journalists, reporters, Orel Hershiser and Joe Davis; four of the five Dodger starters to open the season have all seen significant time on the DL. Kershaw, Ryu, Maeda, and Hill, were all slated as starters on this grind of a season, however, the quartet of Stripling, Wood, Buehler, and Ferguson have made more combined starts than the former.
With these pitchers getting opportunities and running with them, Stripling and Buehler in particular, what does Roberts do when it is time for the reinforcements to return?
As of right now, the five-man rotation is Maeda-Hill-Stripling-Wood-Ferguson.
