“Kershaw has been placed on the disabled list for the first time this season,” MLB.com, the official website of Major League Baseball, reported on Thursday. Kershaw complained of shoulder soreness after his last outing and has been treating it. He reportedly played catch, but was eventually placed on the 15-day disabled list.

Kershaw pitched a six-inning, one-hit shutout against the Colorado Rockies on 28 April, striking out two and walking none. However, he felt pain in his left shoulder after the game, and tests showed inflammation.

MLB.com reported, “Kershaw played catch and reported that his shoulder felt better. However, he received an injection to treat the inflammation after the Colorado game and was unable to throw for several days,” MLB.com reported. At the time, Dodgers manager Dave Roberts was quoted as saying, “If we could afford it, we’d give him a day off.”Kershaw has been plagued by frequent injuries. This year, he’s been healthy and dominant. In 16 games, he’s 10-4 with a 2.55 ERA in 95 1/3 innings. He was at the peak of his powers and kept the Dodgers on the disabled list. However, injuries have finally caught up with him.

His participation in the All-Star Game is uncertain. The Major League Baseball All-Star Game will take place on the 12th of this month.

With Kershaw out of the lineup, pitchers Michael Grove and Gavin Stone received big league call-ups. Grove, a right-hander, was selected by the Dodgers in the second round (68th overall) of the 2018 draft and made his major league debut last year. In his career, he has a 1-2 record in 16 games and 66 1/3 innings.

Stone is also a right-handed pitcher. He was selected by the Dodgers in the fifth round, 159th overall, in 2020 and made his big league debut this season. In three games and 10 innings, he has a 14.40 ERA.
