The Dodgers’ pitching coach acknowledges the left-hander’s diminished velocity was “surprising” and could be related to Kershaw’s ongoing shoulder issues.
WASHINGTON – Dodgers pitching coach Mark Prior wouldn’t call Clayton Kershaw’s diminished velocity over his past two starts a red flag warning of more trouble with the left-hander’s shoulder. But it certainly wasn’t what he expected to see.
Kershaw insisted after the game in Miami that his shoulder feels “fine.” The focus in the days since then has been on his delivery, Prior said. Kershaw is scheduled to start Monday against the San Diego Padres. He will have had five days’ rest between starts and has not pitched on less than that since“I’m sure it’s not zero. But to say how much, it’s hard to tell,” Prior said of how much of a factor Kershaw’s shoulder might be in the diminished quality of his pitches over the past two starts.
