Dodgers pitcher Clayton Kershaw will be shut down from throwing for a week after experiencing lingering soreness in his surgically repaired left shoulder.
"You go through surgery. You go through rehab. You start throwing. You ramp up velocity, workload," Roberts said,"and there is bound to be some soreness, and that's where we're at.
"So then you do the scan to see if there's a new incident, which there wasn't, so that's why we feel very comfortable and confident that this is just a blip." Kershaw had surgery in November, a month after he recorded just one out in Game 1 of the National League Division Series againstwith Class-A Rancho Cucamonga on Wednesday night, throwing 37 pitches while working three innings of one-run ball. He was expected to throw four innings in his second rehab start Tuesday for Triple-A Oklahoma City."A week is not long enough to worry about cutting into the buildup that he's already had," Roberts said.
Muncy hasn't played in a big league game since May 15. He hit. 212 with 36 homers and a career-high 105 RBIs for the Dodgers last year.
