PHOENIX —
The Dodgers acquired Tyler Glasnow this winter confident he could become the next ace of their starting rotation.
When the team’s regular season begins in South Korea next week, Glasnow won’t have to wait long for his first opportunity to start proving it.
Glasnow will be the Dodgers’ opening day starter, the team announced Monday, for its March 20 lid-lifter against the San Diego Padres at the Gocheok Sky Dome in Seoul.
He will face veteran Padres right-hander Yu Darvish in the opener. Yoshinobu Yamamoto will start the second game of the series against Joe Musgrove.
