When the Los Angeles Dodgers opened camp last month it was with an excess number of starting pitchers. Most assumed by Opening Day at least one member from that depth would wind up being placed in the bullpen.
The general expectation was that would be Tony Gonsolin, Dustin May or Julio Urias. But with a report suggesting the Dodgers had internally decided on Urias being part of the rotation, Gonsolin or May — if not both — appeared primed for a swing role once again.
However, David Price added a wrinkle to the possibilities with his willingness to shift to the bullpen.
