Dodgers drop opener to Fish as Kershaw battles command issues MIAMI -- In order for the Dodgers to make a deep run in October, they know they’ll need some strong performances from the starting rotation....
Pitching with bad shoulder Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said Tuesday that Kershaw is pitching through "continued left shoulder trouble," but he will play through the injury down the stretch, Fabian Ardaya of...
Impact Roberts added that Kershaw's shoulder is affecting both his velocity and command. However, giving him an extended rest between starts wouldn't help the issue, so Kershaw will continue to pitch as scheduled in the Dodgers' rotation unless his condition worsens. The 35-year-old ace gave up three runs over five innings during his start Tuesday against Miami and didn't factor into the decision en route to a Marlins victory.

Cruises to 12th win Kershaw (12-4) allowed a run on three hits and three walks while striking out five over five innings to earn the win Tuesday over the Diamondbacks.
Impact The Dodgers took control of this game early, so Kershaw was pulled with 79 pitches (42 strikes). He wasn't at his sharpest, but he was good enough to collect his second win in four starts since returning from a shoulder injury. The southpaw has allowed four runs over 17 innings in that span. He's now at a 2.48 ERA, 1.02 WHIP and 120:29 K:BB through 112.1 innings over 20 starts this season. If the Dodgers keep giving him ample run support, he may continue to see shorter outings down the stretch to stay fresh for the postseason. Kershaw is lined up for a challenging home start against Atlanta this weekend.

Start halted by rain Kershaw allowed one run on one hit while striking out four batters over two innings against Cleveland on Wednesday in a game that was suspended due to rain.
Impact Kershaw seemed to have his stuff working early, racking up eight swinging strikes on 33 pitches and getting each of his final four outs via strikeout. He allowed a solo homer to Jose Ramirez in the first inning but held a 3-1 lead after two frames before the contest was halted and then suspended due to rain. Perhaps the short outing will be positive for Kershaw in the long run, as he's dealt with multiple injuries over the past few seasons and was making just this third start Wednesday since returning from an injury absence that lasted about six weeks. The Dodgers and Guardians will resume the suspended contest as part of a doubleheader Thursday, but Kershaw obviously won't pitch in that contest and thus won't factor into the decision.

Picks up 11th win Kershaw (11-4) allowed a run on three hits and two walks while striking out two over five innings to earn the win over the Brewers on Wednesday.
Impact Kershaw again limited the damage to one solo home run for the second start in a row since he returned from left shoulder inflammation. The southpaw threw 44 of 71 pitches for strikes in this outing. With the Dodgers comfortably in the driver's seat in the NL West, it's no surprise they're taking it easy on Kershaw down the stretch. He's at a 2.48 ERA, 1.03 WHIP and 111:26 K:BB through 105.1 innings over 18 starts. He's projected to make his next start on the road in Cleveland.

Tosses five strong frames in return Kershaw allowed one run on three hits and no walks while striking out four batters over five innings in a no-decision against Colorado on Thursday.
Impact Kershaw made his return from the injured list after missing about six weeks due to left shoulder inflammation. The legendary southpaw looked good in his return, limiting the Rockies to one run on an Elehuris Montero solo shot in the fifth inning. Kershaw tossed 45 of 67 pitches for strikes and lowered his season ERA to 2.51. The Dodgers figure to allow Kershaw to ease back into things with an eye toward the postseason, though the future Hall of Famer has long had a knack for going deep into games without racking up a ton of pitches.

Activated for start The Dodgers reinstated Kershaw (shoulder) from the 15-day injured list ahead of his start Thursday against the Rockies, Juan Toribio of MLB.com reports.
Impact Kershaw has been on the IL since July 3 due to inflammation in his left shoulder. The 35-year-old lefty put up an incredible 1.09 ERA and 0.88 WHIP through 33 innings across his last five starts before getting injured, though it's possible Kershaw shows a little bit of rust after not pitching in over a month. Victor Gonzalez was optioned to Triple-A Oklahoma City in a corresponding move.
