Maybe K is for Keuchel

Clayton Kershaw appears to have a worrisome injury:


Dodgers ace Clayton Kershaw has been shut down indefinitely after telling manager Dave Roberts that he “didn’t feel right” after two discouraging outings on the mound.


Kershaw worked out indoors at Camelback Ranch on Friday, but didn’t play catch. Roberts wouldn’t speculate on the left-hander’s next bullpen session.


“Just going to take a few days. It’s just best if I do that,” Kershaw told reporters. “I’m not going to get another chance to do this during the season. It feels like it’s a good time. Hopefully be playing catch, if not this weekend, by the first of next week.”

Note feeling right is very vague. Something doesn’t feel right, and then suddenly he needs elbow surgery. Maybe it’s a good thing the Dodgers kept their spending low this winter, they may need to grad Dallas Keuchel off the free agent market.

There’s talk in the story of a dead-arm period, but it seems pretty early in spring training for that to happen.
