Dodgers @ Rockies – June 28, 2023: Michael Grove gets the start, Clayton Kershaw has an … issue

While the pen game went well last time, the Dodgers aren’t messing around this time and are just starting what was their presumed bulk boi against the Rockies.

Let’s go.

Okay, so it was more than just fatigue.

#Dodgers MGR Dave Roberts said LHP Clayton Kershaw will make his next start but not sure when. Said he went through normal post-start day one workout today. Roberts said he is “encouraged.” Added that “it’s not his back.”

"…given what he’s done for us this first half. But having a conversation with him, that might be different. And with what he’s done, he has earned that right to be in the conversation. So, we’re gonna have no problem having that conversation." 2/2
