The Dodgers have not made an official announcement about their Opening Day starter, but Urias lines up to pitch on March 30 against the Diamondbacks with Kershaw in the second game.
GOODYEAR, Ariz. — You only need to do the math.
Once Team Mexico was eliminated from the World Baseball Classic on Monday, left-hander Julio Urias traveled back to Arizona and is scheduled to start Friday’s Cactus League game against the Milwaukee Brewers. That gives him five days off before Opening Day when he will likely draw the season-opening assignment for the first time in his career.
Kershaw has had the Opening Day assignment a franchise-record nine times over the past 12 years, missing out due to injuries in 2019 and 2020 then passing the honor to Walker Buehler last year. “Opening Day at Dodger Stadium, you can’t take that for granted, man. You just never know. So I say the same thing about the playoffs. I say the same thing about getting to stand on that mound. I think I’ve done a little bit better job, as I’ve gotten a little older, to understand that. But yeah, at the end of the day, all those feelings – excitement, anxiety, wanting to pitch good – all that stuff really doesn’t change. And I hope it doesn’t.
