Dodgers News: Scott Kazmir To Begin Season On Disabled List

After finishing last season on the disabled list, Scott Kazmir spent the winter working to sort through hip trouble that compromised his mechanics. That included exercises and treatment aimed at creating more flexibility in the balky hip.

He made his 2017 debut March 1 against the San Francisco Giants, receiving the nod over Hyun-Jin Ryu. The start produced mixed results, which was often the case with Kazmir last season. He attributed the inconsistency to growing lazy with his mechanics in the second inning.

The following start five days later spelled doom for Kazmir. He was removed after throwing just one pitch in the second inning, and later diagnosed with hip tightness.
