Giants at Dodgers (10:08 PM, ESPN)
UPDATE:
The Los Angeles Dodgers placed Clayton Kershaw on the injured list with back stiffness on Thursday, just hours before he was supposed to take the mound for his opening day start.
Dodgers right-hander Dustin May has been recalled to fill Kershaw’s roster spot.
Mookie Betts, who agreed to a 12-year, $365 million dollar contract on Wednesday, will make his much anticipated Dodgers debut.
