injured and now they're just trying to mess with the Padres.

Actually I don't really know but someone mentioned Yamamoto hasn't ever really pitched on 4 days rest (which wouldn't affect this series) but if the Dodgers won this series, it would maximize the amount Yamamoto could pitch over the course of the playoffs if he needs 5 days rest. I understand Flaherty can do 4 days rest but I don't know.
