Kershaw’s Back Again

Clayton Kershaw left Sunday’s Dodgers game early with a back problem:

The Dodgers, who ultimately won 5-4 in 10 innings against the Atlanta Braves, announced that Kershaw left the game with right lower back tightness.

Any injury to Kershaw — the National League leader in wins (15-2), earned-run average (2.07) and innings (139 ?) — puts his team in an uncomfortable position.

The Dodgers were positioned well enough last season to absorb more than two months without Kershaw when he was diagnosed with a mild disc herniation in his back. The team went 38-24 in his absence.

I hope it is not serious, as baseball is better with Kershaw than without him. I would like to comment on the super team post, that often these super teams are a couple of injuries away from being a normal good team.

Stephen Strasburg also left his game, Washington versus Arizona after two innings. We’re waiting to hear why.
