Dodgers fans have waited and waited, and now they finally get what they want. Clayton Kershaw has been out with an injury since the beginning of May after a back issue flared up, but the veteran southpaw is set to return his afternoon.
The Dodgers officially activated him off of the injured list today in preparation for that start. In his last outing, he went 7 shutout innings against the Cubs in the first game of a doubleheader. But that back issue took a toll and a shot in his back didn’t immediately help.
But he is back, and the timing is great.
