Clayton Kershaw and the Los Angeles Dodgers met with back specialist Dr. Robert Watkins on Monday, yet the consultation did not produce a timetable. At least not one that the Dodgers are electing to publicly reveal.
“A strain for one person can be a certain time away and another person is different,” Dodgers manager Dave Roberts explained Tuesday. “As opposed to a conventional surgery, where there’s a lot more data to say it is a certain timeline. Clayton, I know feels very comfortable and confident that he doesn’t want to put a timetable on himself.”
An unconfirmed report suggested the Dodgers would be without their ace for at least four weeks.
