Contrary to earlier reports, the Dodgers changed course and decided to start ace Clayton Kershaw on short rest to face the Braves in Game 4 of the National League Championship Series, according to MLB.com.

When Kershaw starts on three days rest Monday, it will be the first time in his career he has done so. Ricky Nolasco had been initially tabbed to start Game 4 in order to keep Kershaw on normal rest.
