Kershaw is not starting in the team's opening series against the Rockies, Juan Toribio of MLB.com reports.
The Dodgers will use Walker Buehler, Tony Gonsolin and Julio Urias as the starters for the opening series of the season at Colorado. There has been no indication that Kershaw suffered an injury, and this move could simply be a method of managing his innings early in the campaign. There has been no official announcement, but Kershaw is expected to draw his first start Tuesday against the Twins, according to David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports.
