After experiencing the first week plus a day of spring training to exhaust the February portion of the Cactus League schedule, the Dodgers open March with a Sunday home game against the Angels.
Four of the Dodgers’ seven games this week are at Camelback Ranch, including an exhibition game Wednesday against Mexico as part of a build-up for the World Baseball Classic starting later this week. Friday and Saturday against the Royals and Rockies, respectively, are the Dodgers’ first two night games this spring.
To that end, Shohei Ohtani and Yoshinobu Yamamoto have already left to join Team Japan in Tokyo, and Hyeseong Kim is also headed to Pool C in Tokyo while playing for Korea in the WBC. Dodgers catcher Will Smith and closer Edwin Díaz will join the United States and Puerto Rico, respectively. The first World Baseball Classic game on the schedule involving a Dodgers player is Kim and Korea taking on Czechia on Thursday at 2 a.m. PT.
