Dodgers Notes: 2 Pitchers Injured, LA Set Up for Blockbuster Trade, Opening Day Starter Revealed
There was some unfortunate news for Los Angeles Dodgers relievers today as two of the three leaders in saves for the ball club last season look likely to start the year on the injured list. Manager Dave Roberts announced that they seem to be “a little behind schedule.”
In other roster news, there may be too much talent on the current squad, if that’s possible. This could potentially trigger a trade to clear room for all the new signings on the team, but unfortunately at the expense of a longtime Dodgers All-Star.
Happier Dodgers news includes finally knowing who will throw out the first pitch for L.A. as Roberts announced the expected Opening Day starter ahead of the season opener in Tokyo, Japan.
And finally, the division-rival San Diego Padres finally made a splash, adding a right-handed pitcher on a very backloaded four-year, $55 million deal.

It was a heck of a day for the Dodgers offense in Milwaukee on Sunday. One day after losing an extra-innings heartbreaker and Dustin May, this was exactly the boost that the team needed. And boy did they ever get a boost.
AJ Pollock and Matt Beaty got things started in the first inning. Beaty reached on an infield single to drive in a run and AJ followed that up with a grand slam to center. Beaty would later come up and hit a grand slam of his own. It was the first time the Dodgers had 2 slams in a game since 2000.
Pollock would continue his domination throughout the rest of the game with the bat. He drove in 8 runs for the Dodgers, becoming the seventh player in franchise history to do so. Pollock finished with 2 homeruns and a double in the game.
