Yoshinobu Yamamoto Pushed To Start NLDS Game 3 By Dodgers

The Los Angeles Dodgers announced that Yoshinobu Yamamoto will be pushed to start Game 3 of the NLDS on Tuesday in Atlanta, following left-handers Tarik Skubal and Blake Snell. Yamamoto has never started in the majors on fewer than five days rest outside of a Game 7 relief appearance. The scheduling gives him extended rest, optimizes his usage for potential deeper rounds, and capitalizes on his strong road performance metrics.
