SCOTTSDALE — Dodgers pitcher Scott Kazmir exited his start on Monday against the Rockies after just one pitch in the second inning, with tightness in his left hip. The left-hander will undergo a precautionary MRI, he told Alanna Rizzo of SportsNet LA.
Kazmir threw a total of 14 pitches, 10 for strikes, in his second start of the Cactus League, but after throwing a ball to Ian Desmond to open the second inning Dodgers manager Dave Roberts and a team trainer went to the mound.
The tightness was first felt before the game.
Scott Kazmir said he felt tightness in his left hip and all down his left side during warmups.
