Clayton Kershaw injury poised to influence Dodgers' plans

LOS ANGELES -- Clayton Kershaw's back injury has quickly forced the Los Angeles Dodgers into some changes, and more could be on the way.

In the week that the team’s staff ace has been down with a mild disc herniation in his lower back, the Dodgers have traded for starting pitcher Bud Norris and brought back Brandon McCarthy from the disabled list. McCarthy made his 2016 debut on Sunday.

Now, with four weeks remaining until the non-waiver trade deadline, the Kershaw situation is likely to shape trade talks.
