That latest update regarding Clayton Kershaw isn’t encouraging.
The Los Angeles Dodgers’ three-time Cy Young Award is in “a holding pattern” and there are currently no plans for him to face hitters as he tries to overcome a toe injury.
“I don’t think there’s been improvement,” Los Angeles manager Dave Roberts said Tuesday before his National League West-leading team opened a crucial three-game series against second-place San Diego. “Him not facing hitters this week is pretty telling in itself.”
Kershaw played catch Tuesday but “there’s something that’s holding him up from progressing to face hitters,” Roberts said.
