Clayton Kershaw Injury Update: How Should the Dodgers Handle Kershaw’s Injury?
The Dodgers need Clayton Kershaw to win the World Series in 2023, but his shoulder started acting up during a recent game in Colorado. Despite the team's history of downplaying injuries, Kershaw and the team don't seem overly worried. However, given his significant innings pitched this season, the suggestion is to protect Kershaw at all costs. Kershaw described his shoulder as "cranky" with inflammation, which raises concerns since it's not his usual back issue. The recommendation is to give him rest, potentially skipping the All-Star game, and focus on his health for the postseason. The team should avoid risking a serious injury that could end his season or career. With Julio Urias returning, there’s some hope to stabilize the rotation.

Dave Roberts provided updates on Clayton Kershaw's back injury and Alex Wood's recovery. Kershaw might need surgery if his back doesn't respond to treatment, though it's not yet certain. Alex Wood underwent elbow surgery and is expected to recover in about eight weeks. He will return this season but will pitch from the bullpen instead of starting.
