Clayton Kershaw, Alex Wood, Ross Stripling Ramping Up
4 years agoLos Angeles Dodgers starting pitchers Clayton Kershaw, Alex Wood and Ross Stripling have already thrown three-inning simulated games at summer camp, indicating that they could pitch deeper into games when the regular season begins at the end of July. The Dodgers have hinted that they may not go with a traditional five-man rotation to begin the shortened 60-game season, but either way, Kershaw and Wood should be locks for the rotation. Stripling is likely on the outside looking in for a rotation spot, but he's proven in the past to be a valuable swing man as a starter and reliever. The velocity isn't what it once was for Kershaw, but the 32-year-old left-hander remains in the conversation as a fantasy ace, albeit at the lower end of the spectrum.
