"You go with Yoshinobu Yamamoto on Opening Day, and then Tyler Glasnow on that Friday [March 27], and that Saturday, you could see Shohei Ohtani. It's that Saturday before the day off on Sunday. So I think that's kind of what makes sense. You give them those two days, allow them to recoup a lot of that, which has to do with how much he's going to be able to ramp up through the WBC."
"Blake Snell, who would theoretically be a starter in the first series, is slow-playing his seasonal preparation. Gavin Stone suffered a setback in his recovery from shoulder surgery, taking him out of the running despite a good spring start. Yoshinobu Yamamoto and Shohei Ohtani are still competing in the WBC, which could lead to injuries, but both are expected to be ready for the start of the season."
The Dodgers begin their 2025 season with a three-game series against the Arizona Diamondbacks from March 26-28, during which they will receive their championship rings and celebrate their 2024 title. The team faces rotation challenges with Blake Snell taking a cautious approach to spring training and Gavin Stone sidelined by shoulder surgery complications. Yoshinobu Yamamoto and Shohei Ohtani remain engaged in WBC competition but are expected ready for Opening Day. Tyler Glasnow and Roki Sasaki are confirmed available, while Justin Wrobleski, River Ryan, and Emmet Sheehan represent potential back-end rotation options. Predictions suggest Yamamoto starts Opening Day, Glasnow pitches Friday, and Ohtani takes the Saturday slot before the team's rest day.
