Kershaw is the only member of the Dodgers’ season-opening starting rotation who hasn’t gone on the injured list this year, and the staff ace has stepped it up in June.
ANAHEIM — Every member of the starting rotation the Dodgers broke camp with this spring has spent time on the injured list already this season.Given his injury history over the past six seasons, Kershaw would not have been the odds-on favorite to be the most durable member of the rotation. But he leads the team in starts and innings pitched to this point.
“Maybe in the last couple of years, it’s been worse, but this year, I actually feel pretty good bouncing back,” Kershaw said. “ been doing my best to try to figure out how to manage workload and things like that – so maybe not throwing quite as long a bullpen or different things. But overall this year I feel like I’m bouncing back better than maybe the last few years.”
He has pitched well this year, for the most part. He was the National League Pitcher of the Month in April before slumping in May. In four starts this month, he has regained his form, allowing just four runs total – and perhaps most importantly for the Dodgers, he has gone seven innings in three of those four starts.
But Roberts said Miller’s neck injury could sideline him for three to four weeks “as the floor.” It is an old injury that resurfaced recently. Roberts answered diplomatically about the potential free agent who has been linked to the Dodgers in speculation about the two-way star’s future.
