According to J.P. Hoornstra of the Southern California News Group, Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Scott Kazmir was removed from his rehab start in Triple-A Oklahoma City last night.

A rehabbing Scott Kazmir, having allowed three runs and hit two batters, is being attended to by a trainer and leaving the game in the 1st.

Mike DiGiovanna of the Los Angeles Times also reported the news.

With Scott Kazmir likely a no-go for next Monday or Tuesday, there’s a good chance Jose De Leon will get another start for #Dodgers.

DiGiovanna recorded further details.

Correction: #Dodgers LHP Scott Kazmir faced seven batters, recorded two outs, then left mound with a trainer at OKC.

Kazmir left the game due to neck and rib discomfort which is not a good sign for the Dodger faithful. Los Angeles is hoping to have both Kazmir and ace Clayton Kershaw back in the rotation before the playoffs roll around.

Kazmir will most likely pitch another rehab start before recalling him back to the Majors. Los Angeles will have an off-day today before taking on the Miami Marlins in Miami on Friday.

Kershaw is expected to square off against Jose Fernandez. As more information surfaces on the Dodgers and their injury news we will keep you up to date.
