Through their first week-plus of 2017 Cactus League games, the Los Angeles Dodgers have started Clayton Kershaw, Rich Hill, Kenta Maeda, Julio Urias, Scott Kazmir and Brandon McCarthy. All but McCarthy have two starts under their belt this year, with Clayton Kershaw making a third on Tuesday.
As has been the case thus far, he’ll be followed by Rich Hill (third start) on Wednesday. However, an off-day Thursday has forced the club to do some juggling, and Kenta Maeda will also pitch Wednesday, but in a simulated game on a backfield at Camelback Ranch.
Brandon McCarthy and Julio Urias will piggyback Friday night against the Texas Rangers.
