Dodgers News: Craig Kimbrel Will be Out Following Being Hit by Comebacker

A day after being drilled in the back by a 100+ mile-per-hour line drive comebackers, Dodgers closer Craig Kimbrel is feeling the effects. Before Monday night’s game at Dodger Stadium, the pitcher provided the update to the media.

Steve Henson was among those to report that Kimbrel said he was sore today but felt surprisingly Ok. He was hit under his right scapula. The reliever will be shut down for a few days while he recovers from the incident.

For Kimbrel, it comes at a bad time for how he was feeling pitching wise. AM570’s David Vassegh tweeted the summation of the hurler’s comments earlier today.
