The Los Angeles Dodgers have a lot to be excited about entering the 2026 season, having won back-to-back World Series titles. They have a chance to become the first team since the New York Yankees from 1998-2000 to three-peat.

Entering this season, they look like the team to beat. The stars have aligned the past two seasons, and they still have a very deep roster full of superstars.

Opening day is just a few days away, and the Dodgers appear close to being set to start another season. According to Katie Woo of The Athletic, manager Dave Roberts has set his rotation to begin the season.

"Dodgers set their Opening Day rotation, per Dave Roberts," Woo posted on X. "Yoshinobu Yamamoto, Tyler Glasnow, Roki Sasaki, Emmet Sheehan, Shohei Ohtani. Justin Wrobleski will be available as a piggyback first time through, but Dodgers do expect him to take some starts as well."

The Dodgers' rotation is still among the deepest in Major League Baseball. They are going to begin the season without Blake Snell, who suffered a shoulder injury early in spring training.

But even without Snell, the team's rotation is quite strong. Ohtani will be healthy for a full year, and Sasaki and Glasnow are also back after injury-plagued seasons.

It will be interesting to see how the rotation holds up as the season progresses.
