GLENDALE, Ariz. -- With the return of Alex Wood in Thursday's 5-1 loss to the Royals after missing his last start because of a tender left forearm, the Dodgers' starting rotation is finally falling into place.
After all, Opening Day against the Padres at Petco Park on April 4 is a little more than two weeks away.
It has been known for awhile that Clayton Kershaw would start the opener, but Dodgers manager Davey Roberts finally ended all speculation on Thursday morning by saying he will be followed in succession by Scott Kazmir, Kenta Maeda and Wood.
