Dodgers manager says Yoshinobu Yamamoto's starting role in the opening series is "appropriate". The Dodgers, who are currently camping in Glendale, Arizona, did not have a full team practice on the 20th.
Pitcher Glasnow, who was transferred from the Rays this off-season, was another candidate for the starting lineup. Manager Roberts also mentioned Shohei Ohtani's future plans for regular season participation, saying, ''I talked to him yesterday. He should be ready for the season after about 50 at-bats.''
