Yoshinobu Yamamoto - Starting Game 5 Yamamoto has been named the starter for Game 5 of the NLDS against the Padres on Friday,Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports. Impact Manager Dave Roberts had previously said that Yamamoto would pitch in some capacity, though it was unclear whether that would be as a starter or in a shorter stint. It appears that the Dodgers intend for him to work as a traditional starter in Friday's contest, though he's yet to pitch more than five innings in any of his five starts since returning from the injured list.
