Clayton Kershaw is expected to miss four to six weeks based on an initial diagnosis of the Dodgers ace's injured back, according to Fox Sports.
The Dodgers will determine how long Kershaw will be sidelined after the three-time Cy Young Award winner visits with the team's back specialist, Dr. Robert Watkins, according to Fox Sports.
Kershaw left Sunday's game against the Braves after just two innings and was diagnosed with what the Dodgers referred to as tightness on the right side of his lower back. The Dodgers will place Kershaw on the 10-day disabled list, but they have not officially disclosed a timetable for his return.
