Los Angeles has had more than their fair share of injuries to the rotation and Anderson is just the latest to add his name to the list. Los Angeles is still waiting on Clayton Kershaw to return to the rotation.
The Dodgers currently hold a 2 game lead on the San Francisco Giants as they continue their series tonight.
