Clayton Kershaw says he feels fine. He says he has no restrictions after willing the Dodgers into the National League championship series. And so the team will start him in its second game against the Chicago Cubs, to be played Sunday at Wrigley Field at 5 p.m. PDT.
Manager Dave Roberts said the decision was a “no-brainer.”
Kershaw last started Tuesday in Los Angeles, on short rest in Game 4 of the NLDS, but pitched in relief to close out the fifth and deciding game of that series Thursday in Washington.
