LOS ANGELES — Dodgers ace Clayton Kershaw is headed to the disabled list after his latest back injury.
The All-Star left his start against the Atlanta Braves after two innings on Sunday because of right low back tightness.
Manager Dave Roberts said Kershaw felt something on his last warm-up pitch going into the second inning.
“Just felt a little something in my back that wasn’t normal,” a subdued Kershaw said.
After a couple of practice pitches in front of a team trainer, Kershaw resumed facing Tyler Flowers with two outs and walked him. He struck out Matt Adams to end the inning and headed into the clubhouse.
