CHICAGO — When it has come to Clayton Kershaw’s health in recent years, the biggest question hasn’t been if the left-hander can avoid injury, but rather when — and for how long — he’d go down with an ailment.
That’s why, while a recent month-long back injury has been frustrating for the 34-year-old, it hasn’t been entirely infuriating either.
“It’s not what anybody would want,” Kershaw said Tuesday. “But I’d rather it happen this month than September, October.”
