During Thursday’s Dodgers game vs. the Giants, Los Angeles starting pitcher Clayton Kershaw left the game in the fifth inning after an apparent injury he suffered during warmup pitches.
The three-time Cy Young Award winner walked off the field with a trainer to get examined further.
According to the Bill Plunkett of the Orange County Register, the ace appeared to tell the team’s trainer “it’s my back,” as they walked off the field.
