Clayton Kershaw News
Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Clayton Kershaw (pelvis) will not be throwing a bullpen session on Wednesday. Dodgers manager Dave Roberts stated that the team is unsure when the veteran will be able to partake in a bullpen session at this point. Kershaw is dealing with soreness in his right SI joint and he has been on the 15-day injured list since last Friday, May 13. His inability to complete a bullpen session on Wednesday indicates that he won't be ready to return from the injured list when first eligible.
Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Clayton Kershaw (pelvis) is still experiencing pain and is "unlikely" to throw a bullpen session on Wednesday, according to manager Dave Roberts. Kershaw landed on the injured list last Friday after experiencing soreness in his right SI joint, and he received an epidural injection in order to clear out the inflammation. The 34-year-old will be delayed at least a few days, but he's unlikely to be ready to rejoin the team's rotation by the end of the month. The future Hall of Famer was excellent in five starts before the injury, allowing only six earned runs while walking three and striking out 32 in 30 innings. Continue to stash Kershaw in all fantasy formats. Left-hander Tyler Anderson should remain in the rotation through the end of the month.
Los Angeles Dodgers left-hander Clayton Kershaw (pelvis) got an MRI on Friday and the results showed no structural damage for the southpaw. Kershaw was placed on the injured list earlier on Friday after getting an epidural on Thursday. The positive MRI results are good news after Kershaw had already indicated to reporters that he was confident he would be ready to return after his 15-day stay on the IL was over. Kershaw has made five starts for the Dodgers this season, posting a 4-0 record with a 1.80 ERA, 0.73 WHIP, and 32 strikeouts over 30 innings of work.

Few players benefitted more from the shortened 2020 season than Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcherClayton Kershaw. He took full advantage of the lightened workload and threw a full season's worth of innings (58 1/3). He looked like the prime Kershaw in those frames, posting a 2.16 ERA, a 0.84 WHIP and raising his strikeout rate up to 28% after a few years of decline in that category. There are reasons not to believe in that high strikeout rate, as his contact rate stayed the same as his recent past and he did not change anything with his pitch arsenal. He also continued to lack velocity, averaging 92 mph on his fastball. While we should not expect another strikeout rate near 30%, you can take a minuscule walk rate and a strong ground-ball profile to the bank. Kershaw appears to have over-performed in 2020, and there are serious questions about how many innings he can handle in a full 2021 season. That puts him a little bit behind his current ADP (32), but he remains a very safe investment as a second fantasy starter.
