Davey Martinez confirmed Max Scherzer is getting the Opening Day nod, but he said this weekend that they still have to sort out how they’re going to line things up behind that. It will be Scherzer, Stephen Strasburg (assuming he’s healthy), Patrick Corbin, Jon Lester (if he’s ready for the start of the season after surgery to remove one parathyroid gland), then Joe Ross (who appears to have the 5th spot locked down). But in what order?
“We’re going to — I’ll sit down with [pitching coach Jim] Hickey right now. We’re going to have to talk about how we’re going to set up this rotation,” Martinez said on Sunday.
