Michael Grove - Expected to get multiple startsDodgers manager Dave Roberts told reporters that Grove is expected to get up to three starts if all goes to plan, J.P. Hoornstra of the Los Angeles Daily News reports.
ImpactGrove was recalled from Triple-A Oklahoma City after Ryan Pepiot was placed on the 15-day injured list with a left oblique strain. If the right-hander does struggle Monday against the Rockies it's possible the Dodgers could turn to some pitching depth, but it does appear that Grove is going to make multiple starts while Pepiot recovers.

Tony Gonsolin - Bullpen session coming SundayDodgers manager Dave Roberts announced that Gonsolin (ankle) will throw a bullpen session before Sunday's game against the Diamondbacks, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.
ImpactIf things go well during that bullpen session, Roberts is hopeful that the right-hander will face hitters at Camelback Ranch in Arizona on Wednesday. Gonsolin is on the injured list with a sprained ankle injury, and if things go well he could return to the Los Angeles rotation by the end of April.

Will Smith - Won't catch SaturdayDodgers manager Dave Roberts told reporters Friday that Smith will not catch Saturday's contest against the Diamondbacks, Matthew Moreno of DodgerBlue.com reports.
ImpactRoberts doesn't want Smith to catch three games in a row in the early part of the year. That means Austin Barnes will be behind the plate for the Dodgers on Saturday, and Roberts says they'll have more right-handed options in the lineup. Smith could end up being the DH, but it's also very possible he'll get a day off after playing in the first two contests.

Max Muncy - Wears platinum sombrero Opening DayMuncy went 0-for-5 with five strikeouts in Thursday's 8-2 victory versus the Diamondbacks.
ImpactMuncy made some plate adjustments this spring with the hope that he could improve upon his .196/.329/.384 slash line from last season, and his Cactus League results were solid, as he slashed .304/.418/.587 with three homers. The third baseman wasn't able to carry over the positive spring to Thursday, however, as he became just the second major-leaguer in history to strike out five times on Opening Day, per Eric Stephen of SBNation.com. Muncy should have a long leash as a middle-of-the order bat for Los Angeles and will be given plenty of opportunity to bounce back from the season-opening platinum sombrero, but the performance is a reminder to fantasy managers that Muncy has hit below .200 in two of his past three campaigns.
