Los Angeles Dodgers left-hander Clayton Kershaw (toe) is dealing with a bone spur in his left big toe that he's been dealing with, according to manager Dave Roberts, and the skipper is expecting a possible injured-list move. "I'd be shocked if we don't make an IL move or two," Roberts said. Kershaw was removed from his start on Friday against the division-rival Arizona Diamondbacks at Chase Field after one-plus inning due to the toe injury and will now miss at least the next couple of weeks. If the Dodgers decide to take it slow with the 36-year-old three-time Cy Young winner, we may not see him again until the postseason. The future Hall of Famer got a late start to his 2024 season due to a left-shoulder injury and has only made seven starts this year, sporting a career-low 18.1% strikeout rate with a 4.50 ERA and 1.50 WHIP in 30 innings.
Los Angeles Dodgers left-hander Clayton Kershaw (toe) left his start on Friday early against the division-rival Arizona Diamondbacks at Chase Field with left big-toe pain. Kershaw made it through only one inning in the start of a huge weekend series in Arizona, and he gave up three earned runs on three hits (one homer) while walking one and striking out none before he hit the showers. It's not an arm injury, but it's yet another ailment for the 36-year-old, who hasn't been able to stay healthy in recent seasons. The future Hall of Famer came into Friday's start having made only six starts in 2024 due to a left-shoulder injury. The 10-time All-Star and three-time Cy Young winner will now be up in the air for his next start, depending on the severity of his injury. Heading into the final month of the regular season, the Dodgers' top priority will be having Kershaw healthy for another playoff run in October.
Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Clayton Kershaw tossed six scoreless innings against the St. Louis Cardinals on Sunday. The left-hander struck out two batters and allowed four hits in his six innings of work. The 36-year-old veteran is 2-1 this season in five starts with a 2.63 ERA and 1.25 WHIP. He has 19 strikeouts in 24 innings. This was a little bit of a vintage Kershaw performance and he has shown that there is still a bit of magic left in his left arm.
Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Clayton Kershaw was roughed up in his second start of the season on Wednesday against the hosting division-rival San Diego Padres at Petco Park, taking his first loss of the year after allowing three runs on six hits and one walk and failing to record a strikeout. After putting out six hitters via the K in his 2024 regular-season debut last Thursday against the San Francisco Giants, Kershaw stumbled a bit on Wednesday against San Diego and labored through 3 2/3 innings. Better days are ahead for the 36-year-old future Hall of Famer, who has begun the year by giving up five runs over 7 2/3 frames. With that said, fantasy managers should proceed with caution in Tuesday's start against the Philadelphia Phillies.
Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Clayton Kershaw went four innings in his season debut against the San Francisco Giants Thursday afternoon, fanning six in a no-decision. Kershaw scattered six hits and two runs and walked two while throwing 72 pitches. The veteran is a welcome addition to a starting rotation currently decimated by injuries. His next start should come next Wednesday against the San Diego Padres and Dylan Cease, who threw a no-hitter today.
