NEW YORK — On the first day of the second half of the season, an already unsettled Dodgers starting rotation was handed another ominous development.
Clayton Kershaw will not be returning this week as initially expected, with the left-hander now expected to be sidelined until at least early August after being advised by the team's medical staff to give an unspecified shoulder injury more time to heal.
The news frustrated Kershaw, who said his shoulder feels "completely fine." He will continue to play catch and throw bullpen sessions this week.
