The news on Clayton Kershaw did not seem good on Thursday, with Dodgers manager Dave Roberts saying he did not think the veteran left-hander, sidelined all month by a left big toe injury, would “be viable for a couple of weeks.”
But the three-time National League Cy Young Award winner is not ready to give up on his hopes of pitching in the playoffs if the Dodgers can make a deep October run.
“I’m going to keep trying every day,” Kershaw, 36, said before Thursday night’s series finale against the San Diego Padres in Dodger Stadium.
