The Dodgers opening day payroll in 2019 checks in just shy of $206 million, though roughly a quarter of that is on the injured list to start the season.
Starting pitchers Clayton Kershaw ($31 million) and Rich Hill ($18 million) inflate the Dodgers’ season-opening injured list payroll, which also includes Tony Cingrani ($2.65 million). The $51.65 million in salary on the injured list to open the season is the club’s highest since 2016.
