The Los Angeles Dodgers opened the season with eight viable starting pitchers, which pushed David Price to the bullpen, where he stayed for most of the year.
However, after multiple injuries and the investigation into Trevor Bauer over alleged sexual assault that for now has him on administrative leave, Price has been in the process of stretching out as a starting pitcher to join Walker Buehler, Julio Urias and Tony Gonsolin in the rotation.
After being limited to an opener role in prior outings, Price made a full-fledge start — albeit still building his innings — last week against the Colorado Rockies.
