Dodgers’ Andrew Friedman Reflects on Clayton Kershaw Injury Timeline: ‘No Playbook For That’

Andrew Friedman, president of baseball operations, said there is no set timeline for Clayton Kershaw’s return given the unconventional injury he is dealing with.

The Los Angeles Dodgers veteran left-hander left the mound on Aug. 30 after dealing with a bone spur on his left big toe.

“He’s still trying to figure out the best way to provide relief [for his toe], and figuring that out is challenging,” Friedman told Jack Harris of The Los Angeles Times. “There’s not a playbook for that … it’s just not a common [injury].”

The veteran southpaw alerted manager Dave Roberts in the first inning of the rivalry matchup against the Diamondbacks about the pain he felt in his push-off foot.
