The Los Angeles Dodgers placed the 34-year-old on the IL midway through May with a pelvic joint inflammation. He was out of action for almost a month before returning against, co-incidentally, the Giants.Kershaw has been dealing with injuries over the last two seasons. He started 22 times last year, but missed the playoffs with a forearm injury.Kershaw signed a one-year deal to return to the Dodgers following Max Scherzer’s departure. His absence from any game will be a blow, but the Dodgers have a rotation that boasts the likes of Julio Urias, Tony Gonsolin and Tyler Anderson.Luckily for Dodgers fans, their team is not a one-man show. At the time of writing, the Dodgers are heading for their fifth straight win. Having trailed 2-1 against the Giants after two innings, the Dodgers are cruising to a 5-2 win during the eighth.
