Clayton Kershaw Avoiding The Injured List For Now
1 year agoLos Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Clayton Kershaw (shoulder) is making progress, per manager Dave Roberts, and will not be placed on the injured list on Sunday. The veteran southpaw has been dealing with shoulder inflammation and did receive a cortisone shot earlier in the week. Roberts told reporters that Kershaw has looked better every day since the injection. He threw on Saturday as well but has yet to throw off a mound. With all that said, Roberts did say that the team will determine if he needs to be placed on the injured list on Monday. This situation definitely puts fantasy managers in a tough spot as they'll just have to wait and see what the Dodgers decide to do on Monday. They should already have a backup plan in place at this point anyway, though.
