Dodgers lineups: Mike Bolsinger will try to avoid post-Kershaw hangover for Dodgers

LOS ANGELES -- It's not easy swimming in Clayton Kershaw's wake.

Dodgers starting pitchers have not come remotely close to matching his standards in the next game. In games following Kershaw's starts this season, Dodgers starting pitchers have a 5.36 ERA, 1.38 WHIP and have barely averaged five innings pitched.

Mike Bolsinger gets his chance to buck that trend tonight. The right-hander was recalled from Triple-A Oklahoma City Monday to replace rookie Ross Stripling in the starting rotation. Bolsinger is probably just a temporary placeholder until Hyun-Jin Ryu completes his minor-league injury-rehabilitation assignment. Ryu is scheduled to throw approximately 60 pitches or four innings for the OKC Dodgers Wednesday night in Fresno.
