Dodgers' Clayton Kershaw Exits Game with Toe Pain
The Injury
Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Clayton Kershaw exited his start against the Arizona Diamondbacks on Saturday with left toe pain.
Kershaw had allowed two runs on three hits in 2 1/3 innings before leaving the game.
The Dodgers' ace has a history of back and shoulder injuries, but this is the first time he has dealt with toe pain.
The Impact
Kershaw's exit is a big blow to the Dodgers, who are already without Walker Buehler and Dustin May due to injuries.
The Dodgers will likely turn to Tony Gonsolin to replace Kershaw in the rotation.
Gonsolin has been solid this season, posting a 2.38 ERA in 10 starts.
Kershaw's Outlook
Kershaw is scheduled to undergo an MRI on Monday to determine the extent of the injury.
The Dodgers are hopeful that Kershaw will only miss a few starts.
However, if the injury is more serious, Kershaw could miss significant time.
Dodgers' Rotation
- Tony Gonsolin
- Julio Urías
- David Price
- Andrew Heaney
- Mitch White
Conclusion
Clayton Kershaw's exit with toe pain is a major setback for the Dodgers.
The Dodgers will need to rely on their other starters to step up in Kershaw's absence.
Kershaw's status will be updated as more information becomes available.
