NLDS Game 4 decision on whether to start Clayton Kershaw on short rest looms

LOS ANGELES — Should their National League Division Series against the Nationals last beyond a sweep, the Dodgers will send a left-handed pitcher to the mound to start Game 4. We just don’t know yet, officially, if it will be Clayton Kershaw or Julio Urias.

It’s not something we definitely need to know now anyway. There is still the matter of Kershaw making his start on Friday, and see how he comes out of that.

"With Clayton he's gone on short rest. We know he's going to start Game 1, and after that we'll decide going forward,” manager Dave Roberts said on Tuesday.
