Clayton Kershaw’s sore shoulder is concerning, but Dodgers can withstand it

So, Clayton Kershaw. There’s a fun topic of discussion. First it was him “not feeling right” after his first bullpen session of the spring. And now this.

For the second time in 13 days, Kershaw has been shut down because of an issue with throwing. This is not good. And why the Dodgers haven’t scheduled an MRI for his ailing shoulder yet is beyond me.

They gave him a $93 million contract extension this winter. It was the one thing the front office did that was 100 percent a must-do. They couldn’t let the face of the franchise and first-ballot Hall of Famer end his career anywhere else.
