After a summer spent relying upon rookie pitchers, the Dodgers will turn back to two veterans as the team tries to clinch the National League West title. Brett Anderson and Scott Kazmir will return to the starting rotation this weekend against Colorado, with Anderson set for Friday and Kazmir slated for Saturday.
Neither Anderson (0-2, 24.75 earned-run average) nor Kazmir (10-6, 4.59) has started for the Dodgers since August. The team put them on the disabled list Aug. 23, Anderson because of a blister on his left hand and Kazmir because of thoracic spinal inflammation.
