Major League Baseball on Tuesday announced the starting pitching matchups for all season openers.
Johnny Cueto was put on the COVID-related injured list despite testing negative, while fellow Giants pitcher Alex Wood tested positive and has symptoms.
Dodgers ace Clayton Kershaw was tabbed Tuesday to make the ninth Opening Day start of his career, which extends his franchise record.
Joe Panik followed up his Opening Day game-winning solo shot with another in the Giants' win over the Dodgers on Friday -- the first player ever to homer for his team in back-to-back 1-0 victories.
It is possible Clayton Kershaw could return to Los Angeles' rotation Thursday or next weekend if the Dodgers ace reports no setbacks from the 60-pitch simulated game he threw on Saturday.
Clayton Kershaw, who hasn't pitched since June 26 due to a lower back injury, could be back on the mound as early as next week, or by the end of the month at worst.
