Clayton Kershaw Exits Start With Bone Spur in Left Toe, IL Stint Possible
Los Angeles Dodgers Ace Leaves Game Early
Los Angeles Dodgers ace Clayton Kershaw exited his start against the Atlanta Braves on Friday night with a bone spur in his left toe. The injury is not expected to be serious, but Kershaw could miss a start or two as he recovers.
Kershaw's Injury
Kershaw first felt pain in his toe during his outing against the Braves. He was able to finish the inning, but he was removed from the game after facing just 15 batters. An MRI later confirmed the presence of a bone spur.
Bone spurs are small, bony growths that can form on the bones of the foot. They are often caused by repetitive stress or injury. In Kershaw's case, the bone spur is likely the result of the stress from his pitching motion.
Kershaw's Outlook
The Dodgers are hopeful that Kershaw will not miss a significant amount of time. The team is expected to place him on the injured list, but he could return to the rotation as early as next week.
If Kershaw does miss a start or two, it will be a blow to the Dodgers' rotation. Kershaw is one of the best pitchers in baseball, and he is a key part of the team's success.
Conclusion
Clayton Kershaw's injury is a setback for the Dodgers, but it is not expected to be serious. The team is hopeful that Kershaw will be back on the mound soon and help them compete for a World Series title.
