3 years agoLos Angeles Dodgers relief pitcher Corey Knebel will start Thursday night's deciding Game 5 against the San Francisco Giants. This comes as a significant surprise, as the strong expectation was for lefty Julio Urias to take the mound for the Dodgers. It is possible this is intended to force Giants manager Gabe Kapler into starting his lefties against the right-handed Knebel, only to have Urias enter for a bulk outing. There have been no reports of any injury for Urias at this time. Stay tuned for updates.--Doug Goldring - RotoBaller
