Dodgers RHP Emmet Sheehan will start the season on the injured list with a shoulder injury, per manager Dave Roberts. This development clarifies the fifth starter spot, potentially leaving room for either right-hander Gavin Stone or left-hander Ryan Yarbrough to step in. The Dodgers' season begins March 20-21 against the Padres in South Korea, and they won't need a fifth starter until April 1.
