Roberts said Clayton Kershaw hasn’t picked up a baseball since Sat, won’t until back pain subsides. Will get another exam in next day or 2

Brett Anderson of the Dodgers provided some humor on the situation.

Hey @ClaytonKersh22 you can have whatever you want from my back even though there probably isn’t a lot to choose from.

Kershaw has not pitched since mid June due to the back issue. Los Angeles has managed to stay above water without their ace but they are certainly looking forward to his return.

Los Angeles has already lost Hyun-jin Ryu, Alex Wood, and Brett Anderson to various injuries. As more information surfaces on the Dodgers and their injuries we will keep you up to date.
