Roberts didn’t say what the timeline for Kershaw’s recovery would be but noted that scans showed the worst-case scenario was averted. The three-time Cy Young Award winner, who missed most of July and all of August because of a forearm injury, did not suffer any ligament damage and will not need Tommy John surgery, Roberts said.

(Gina Ferazzi/Los Angeles Times) Kershaw update “So I guess, looking at where we were on Sunday, it’s probably the best-case scenario.”Ĭlayton Kershaw, second from left, is removed from the game Friday against the Milwaukee Brewers after injuring his left arm.

“I don’t know what that really means, but I do know that he’s been known to heal quickly, and he’s determined to try to help us in any way he can, and I don’t want to close the door completely on that,” Roberts said. 895 on-base-plus-slugging percentage and a team-high 36 homers and 94 RBIs, will rejoin the team if it plays deep into October. Roberts said the Dodgers are holding out a “glimmer of hope” that Muncy, who is batting. We're going to know more in the next few days about that." "They said there is some other damage in there.

“The noise … I hear my elbow popping … I did dislocate my elbow on the play, and it popped back in when I was rolling on the ground," Muncy said. Muncy walked off the field clutching his left arm, and in the 48 hours since, he has replayed the injury “too many times” in his head. Muncy couldn’t pull his arm back before Peterson ran through it, bending the arm backward as Muncy spun to the ground in pain. Catcher Will Smith grabbed the ball, but his off-balance throw veered inside of the bag, forcing Muncy to stick his left arm out as Peterson sprinted down the line. He was injured on a play that started with Milwaukee infielder Jace Peterson’s dribbler in front of the plate in the third inning of Sunday’s 10-3 win by the Dodgers.
