[MLB] Now healthy, Koch set to start Cactus opener - “Excited for him,” D-backs manager Torey Lovullo said. “All the work he’s been putting in. Last year was a lean year for him because of some injuries that he walked through early, so we felt like it would be special for him to start tomorrow and get a new start to the 2018 season.” Lovullo said he didn’t know who else was scheduled to pitch in the game. Most regulars, such as Paul Goldschmidt and A.J. Pollock, will not play until Saturday, but Chris Herrmann will catch, Chris Owings will serve as the designated hitter and Ketel Marte will play shortstop.
