LOS ANGELES — With Rich Hill getting placed on the disabled list on Wednesday the Dodgers shuffled their rotation for the pending weekend series against the Nationals, and a byproduct is that we get Clayton Kershaw and Max Scherzer dueling in Friday night’s opener at Dodger Stadium.
We were originally scheduled to get Kershaw vs. Stephen Strasburg on Saturday, which is a fantastic matchup in its own right. It’s one Vin Scully braved a sore throat to try to call two years ago, only to see Strasburg scratched late with a back injury.
