Dodgers News: Two Rookies Will Piggyback Game One of Doubleheader

The Dodgers and Diamondbacks play a scheduled day/night doubleheader on Tuesday, a result of having the first week of the season rescheduled due to the owners’ lockout that delayed the start of the season.

When teams are scheduled for a doubleheader, each team is allowed to add an extra player to the roster for the day. The Dodgers announced on Monday that their extra player will be Ryan Pepiot, who has made eight appearances (seven starts) for Los Angeles this year but spent most of the year in Triple-A Oklahoma City.

Michael Grove will be the starter in game one of the doubleheader, with Pepiot set to follow him.
