Clayton Kershaw, upper back injury

[fan_since79]

An MRI has confirmed the injury to his upper back. He will miss Sunday's start. His next start will be determined by his progress next week.

Guess Greinke was right.

It would have been a lower back strain, but he was pitching upside down in australia.

Expect the Doyers, with all those expensive vets, to have the small, nagging, injury bug going on most of the season.

Puig could wind up suspended or in jail at least once, also.

Should be fun.

I can't stand the Dodgers but I hate to see Kershaw hurt.  Dude is amazing.

I welcome any and all bad news concerning the Dodgers, no matter the player.

 

Though if it is a career ending type injury or fatal disease, that's a different story. I wish that on no one.

It's not seriously but still a little scary.  The teres major is one of the lower scapular muscles -- the teres minor is one of the four rotator cuff muscles, I'm betting they will play it very very safe to avoid a bigger injury.
