Why Andre Jackson Needs To Be On The Dodgers Opening Day Roster

Upon looking at the potential opening day bullpen for the Dodgers, I became a bit worried. The Dodgers have five solid locks — Evan Phillips, Yency Almonte, Brusdar Graterol, Alex Vesia and Caleb Ferguson — but then it gets a little worrisome.

With Daniel Hudson confirmed to miss the start the season, and Alex Reyes likely not back until June or July, the Dodgers will be relying on some less-than-ideal options.

There’s Shelby Miller, who’s likely to open the season with the big league roster because, if not, the options are either cut him or put him on the injured list.
