Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Clayton Kershaw has been shut down for a week after experiencing lingering soreness in his comeback from left shoulder surgery.
Kershaw, 36, had an MRI that 'showed no new incidents,' manager Dave Roberts said before Monday night's game at the Chicago White Sox. 'You go through surgery. You go through rehab. You start throwing. You ramp up velocity, workload,' Roberts said, 'and there is bound to be some soreness, and that's where we're at.
The three-time NL Cy Young Award winner re-signed with Los Angeles in February, staying with his only big league club, the one that drafted him No. 7 overall in 2006. He has not pitched in the majors since that disastrous NLDS outing at the end of last saeason. Kershaw made a rehab start with Class-A Rancho Cucamonga on Wednesday night, throwing 37 pitches while working three innings of one-run ball. After he takes a week off from throwing, Kershaw will begin to ramp up again.
