The Los Angeles Dodgers are back at Salt River Fields for a second time in the past four days, but Thursday brings about a meeting with the Arizona Diamondbacks. L.A. previously blew out the Colorado Rockies earlier in the week.
Their matchup with the Diamondbacks is noteworthy in that David Price makes his first start of the spring. Overall, it will be the left-hander’s third Cactus League appearance of the year. Price thus far has thrown four scoreless innings out of the bullpen.
Despite the most recent of those two relief appearances being three innings in length, Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said that is how long Price is scheduled to pitch in his start rather than stretch out to four innings.
