On the final morning of a hellish, 10-day trip, pitcher Clayton Kershaw left the Dodgers on Sunday to travel to Los Angeles after complaining of discomfort in his prized left arm. He underwent an examination from team doctor Neal ElAttrache which revealed biceps tendinitis, with an undetermined recovery time.
The team placed Kershaw on the 10-day disabled list in the morning. Kershaw had dealt with less severe bouts of this condition in the past. He cut short a session of catch Saturday afternoon because his arm "just wasn't feeling right," manager Dave Roberts explained.
Kershaw has spent time on the DL in each of the past three seasons, and four of the last five.
