Getting MRI on back Kershaw is getting an MRI on his lower back and will miss 2-to-4 weeks, according to manager Dave Roberts, David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports.

Impact That timeline is not rock solid, considering the Dodgers are still awaiting the results of the MRI. However, Kershaw was placed on the 15-day injured list Friday, so he will miss at least two weeks. Ryan Pepiot was scratched from his scheduled start Saturday for Triple-A Oklahoma City and is the presumptive rotation replacement for Kershaw.

Hits injured list Kershaw (back) was placed on the 15-day injured list as expected Friday, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

Impact Kershaw exited his start Thursday against the Giants with lower-back pain and will now miss at least two more turns in the rotation. The Dodgers sounded optimistic that he wouldn't be in line for a long absence, but the team currently holds a 12.5-game lead in the NL West, so there's little reason to rush him back. Off days Monday and Thursday mean the Dodgers could put off the question of who replaces Kershaw in the rotation for several days.

Impact Kershaw left his start Thursday against the Giants with pain in his lower back. An X-ray failed to reveal much Friday, so he'll undergo an MRI as well.

Dealing with low-back pain Kershaw exited Thursday's game against the Giants due to low-back pain.

Impact Kershaw appeared to indicate that he was dealing with a back injury as he walked off the mound prior to the fifth inning Thursday, and the Dodgers later confirmed the diagnosis. The left-hander will presumably be monitored in the coming days, especially considering his history of back injuries. If he's able to pitch through the issue, he tentatively lines up to make his next start at home against the Twins on Wednesday.
