The Los Angeles Dodgers announced a stadium lighting issue at Camelback Ranch has led to the change of start times for games on Friday, March 19, and Sunday, March 21, to 1:05 p.m. PT both days. Each of the two games had previously been scheduled for a 6:05 p.m. first pitch.
The change first affects a matchup with the Texas Rangers. Friday is the second and final Cactus League meeting between the two teams. The Dodgers previously suffered a 4-3 loss to the Rangers in eight innings at Surprise Stadium on March 7.
It was a second start of the spring for Walker Buehler, who used the opportunity to exclusively pitch out of the stretch.
