Mike Bolsinger (oblique) could open season on Dodgers' disabled list

Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Mike Bolsinger is dealing with a minor oblique injury and could begin the season on the disabled list, Dodgers' manager Dave Roberts admitted Sunday.

What It Means:

That means the competition for the fifth spot in the Dodgers' starting rotation is up for grabs. Carlos Frias and Zach Lee are the most likely candidates to fill that role.

Bolsinger racked up a 3.62 ERA (3.91 FIP), 21.0 percent strikeout rate and 9.7 percent walk rate in 109 1/3 innings in 2015.
