He joined a veritable rotation of Dodgers pitchers on the disabled list, a group that includes Hyun-Jin Ryu, Brandon McCarthy, Brett Anderson, Alex Wood and Frankie Montas. With Kershaw down, the Dodgers need an arm to pitch on Friday, when Kershaw was slated to face the Colorado Rockies. He is expected to be placed on the 15-day disabled list in the next two days, as the front office scrambles to find a starter to take his place on Friday. Clayton Kershaw received an epidural injection on Wednesday to combat the ongoing discomfort in his lower back, and the Dodgers are preparing for him to miss an extended period of time.
