Ryu will start the Dodgers' fifth game of the season, Ken Gurnick of MLB.com reports.

It was reported earlier in the week that Ryu would be in the rotation to start the year, but manager Dave Roberts just confirmed Wednesday that it will be the fifth game of the season, against the Rockies, that he will start. The 30-year-old had been hampered by injuries this spring, putting his status for Opening Day in question, but now that he finally appears to be healthy, the southpaw will look to regain his form from 2013 and 2014 (combined 28-15, 3.17 ERA and 1.20 WHIP over 56 starts).
