“Pitching Pains: Opening Day Benched by Major Injuries”

Among them are Gerrit Cole, Walker Buehler, Clayton Kershaw, Justin Verlander, Max Scherzer, Jacob deGrom, and Eduardo Rodriguez. In response, teams are signing replacements, like the D-backs adding Jordan Montgomery, though his recent lack of play may delay his debut.
