As part of Saturday’s split-squad doubleheader, the Los Angeles Dodgers will simultaneously play host to the Arizona Diamondbacks at Camelback Ranch while additionally taking on the Colorado Rockies for the first time this spring.
Making his 2020 Cactus League debut is Walker Buehler, who is expected to throw two innings. Prior to this weekend, he had been limited to three sessions of live batting practice.
Buehler’s latest round of live BP consisted of three innings, which is more than traditionally seen. “I guess if you look at everyone else (three innings is aggressive) but it’s not a game,” Dodgers manager Dave Roberts noted.
