Dodgers' Scott Kazmir (neck, rib) leaves rehab start

Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Scott Kazmir left his rehab start with neck and rib pain on Monday.

What It Means:

It was neck inflammation that landed him on the disabled list in August, so this is obviously not a good sign for his potential return, which was at one point expected to come this week.

Kazmir hasn't been having a great season anyway. Through 135 1/3 innings this year, he owns a 4.59 ERA and 4.20 SIERA that are both well above his career averages.
