Clayton Kershaw (back spasms) scratched from Game 2 start for Dodgers in NLCS, Tony Gonsolin to start
Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Clayton Kershaw has been scratched from his start in Game 2 of the National League Championship Series against the Atlanta Braves on Tuesday due to back spasms.
Tony Gonsolin will start in place of Kershaw on Tuesday as the Dodgers try to avoid falling into an 0-2 hole. Kershaw didn't appear to be bothered by any back issues while making two starts during the Dodgers' first two playoff rounds, but the 32-year-old left-hander has dealt with a myriad of back problems over his career. The Dodgers are reportedly optimistic that Kershaw will be available by Game 4 of the NLCS. Gonsolin finished the regular season with a 2.31 ERA in nine appearances.
numberFire's models expect Gonsolin to score 28.6 FanDuel points in Game 2. He has a salary of $7,900.
