Clayton Kershaw has actually been griding through his profession with a strength that is unrivaled. He has actually been psychologically difficult to survive his playoff problems and physically difficult to overcome injuries.

After making his seventh start of the season last Friday, Kershaw was put on the 15-day hurt list with huge toe swelling on his left foot.

According to Jack Harris of the L.A. Times, Dodgers supervisor Dave Roberts stated Kershaw is most likely going to begin using a strolling boot to assist him recuperate from the results of a bone spur.

On Tuesday, Harris’ post on X (previously Twitter) stated: “Clayton Kershaw came out on the field to play catch in normal shoes earlier, then went inside, put on a walking boot, and is now back out here throwing with it on. Dave Roberts said over the weekend that he thought Kershaw would need a boot as he recovers from his toe injury.”

The veteran southpaw was pulled after simply over an inning on Friday night since of his toe that was hindering his capability to press off the rubber. Roberts stated after the video game that the issue is a bone spur Kershaw has actually been handling for “maybe a couple of years.” Normally, he keeps the discomfort under control with preventative treatment.

“Each day we’ll know more,” Roberts stated on Saturday. “Obviously, we’ve got 15 days to kind of see where we’re at,” Roberts stated. “The calendar is working against us, certainly as a starter, but I don’t think 15 days will cut into the buildup [to get back to] where he’s been.”

Kershaw made his season launching on July 25 after rehabbing from offseason shoulder surgical treatment. Since then, he has actually published a 4.50 period with 24 strikeouts over 30 innings.

“I think in Clayton’s head, he just wants to get this to subside and get back as soon as he can,” stated Roberts. “We just won’t know until we can get the swelling down.”

Roberts isn’t prepared to captivate the concept of Kershaw missing out on the postseason lineup.

“That’s not where any of our heads are at right now,” Roberts included. “Our expectation is that he will [be ready in time for the postseason].”

If Kershaw’s period holds, it would be just the 4th time in his profession he completed a season with an age above 3.00. If it winds up over 4.00, it would be the very first time because his novice year with the Dodgers.
