Dodgers' Clayton Kershaw (back) out at least a month

Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Clayton Kershaw will miss at least a month with his back injury.

What It Means:

This is clearly not the news that Kershaw, Dodgers fans, and fantasy owners wanted to hear when he was sent to the disabled list earlier today. Given the All-Star game is just two weeks after the one-month time frame, he could conceivably be out until after the break.

Kershaw's 2.0 BB/9 and 9.7 K/9 rates are Kershaw's worst since 2013, and his 3.49 FIP is the highest it's been since his rookie season.
