The Dodgers have released their much-anticipated preliminary 2016 schedule which, as reported several weeks ago, has them playing against the American League East in interleague play – including a three-game series against the New York Yankees at Yankee Stadium in September.

The Dodgers will kick off the 2016 regular season with three games against the Padres in San Diego on Monday, April 4. This will be followed by four games against the hated Giants at AT&T Park beginning on Thursday April 7 through April 10. The Dodgers then return to Dodger Stadium for their Home Opener against the Arizona Diamondbacks on Tuesday evening, April 12 for three games, followed by three more against the Giants.
