The Dodgers announced they placed starter Clayton Kershaw on the injured list with lower back pain, activating Chris Taylor off the injured list in a corresponding move.
Kershaw left Thursday afternoon’s game vs. San Francisco with the injury after he felt something warming up for the fifth inning. Kershaw immediately pointed at the dugout to notify that something was wrong. Up to that point, Kershaw had allowed two runs on three hits, including one home run.
Manager Dave Roberts said Kershaw felt some more soreness in the morning but underwent an MRI didn’t reveal any new damage to his back.
