Hiroki Kuroda will start for the Dodgers on Monday night for the first time since Opening Day. Kuroda will start for the first time in eight weeks against the Diamondbacks in Los Angeles after dealing with a strained side muscle. Manager Joe Torre said Kuroda is expected to throw from 85 to 90 pitches. "A lot of it is going to depend on how hard it is for him to get there," Torre said.
