McCullough reported further information on the news.

This is tough to watch. Scott Kazmir’s fastball hasn’t cracked 86 mph, and throwing strikes hasn’t been easy either. Three walks so far.

Kazmir has struggled over the past few weeks with his velocity and it is believed it has to do with an hip issue. Kazmir is a former first round pick of the New York Mets in the 2002 MLB Draft.

He is a well traveled veteran who spent his first season with the Dodgers last season. He posted a 10-6 record with a 4.56 ERA with the club.
