Kershaw has not picked up a baseball since leaving his start on Tuesday, but he will try throwing on Friday or Saturday and that will determine whether he makes his next scheduled start on Monday.
DENVER — It was Clayton Kershaw’s shoulderand he received an injection to treat inflammation in the joint.
The three-time Cy Young Award winner said this is not the first time he has had “shoulder stuff” or the first time he received an injection for it. And it wouldn’t be the first time he has pitched with a sore shoulder, he acknowledged. “I think for us it’s more day-to-day,” Roberts said. “I still stand by the goal is for him to pitch on Monday. If it’s not , we’ve got to pivot. We’re not going to put him in harm’s way if we all come together and collectively come together and say, ‘It makes sense to make your start,’ great. If it doesn’t, we’re fine with that too.”
Roberts said pushing Kershaw’s start back from Monday is not an option because of the domino effect it would cause on the rest of the rotation.
