Yoshinobu Yamamoto got some extra rest with both the All-Star break and the Dodgers holding him out until the fifth game after the break. The right-hander gets the ball on Tuesday night against the Twins on eight days rest.
Yamamoto finished his pre-break in style on July 13 in San Francisco with seven scoreless innings in a no-decision. He made his first MLB All-Star Game but by pitching on the Sunday before the game was ineligible to pitch in the midsummer classic.
Simeon Woods Richardson starts for the Twins, entering the week with a 3.95 ERA in 73 innings. The 24-year-old right-hander has allowed zero or one run in five of his last six starts, with a 1.47 ERA over 30⅔ innings dating back to June 15.
