Dodgers' Clayton Kershaw Leaves Start vs. Diamondbacks with Toe Pain

What Happened

Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Clayton Kershaw left his start against the Arizona Diamondbacks on Thursday night with left toe pain.

Kershaw allowed two runs on three hits and two walks in 2 1/3 innings before exiting the game.

The Dodgers announced that Kershaw is day-to-day with toe inflammation.

Impact on the Dodgers

Kershaw's injury is a blow to the Dodgers, who are already without injured starters Walker Buehler and Julio Urías.

The Dodgers will likely need to call up a starter from Triple-A Oklahoma City to take Kershaw's place in the rotation.

Kershaw's Injury History

Kershaw has a history of back and shoulder injuries.

He missed the entire 2021 season after undergoing Tommy John surgery.

Kershaw has made 11 starts for the Dodgers this season, going 6-3 with a 2.64 ERA.

What's Next

The Dodgers will likely provide an update on Kershaw's condition on Friday.

The Dodgers are scheduled to face the Diamondbacks again on Friday night.

If Kershaw is unable to start, the Dodgers could start Tony Gonsolin or Ryan Pepiot.
