    It is a back issue.


    The Dodgers are exercising "extreme caution" in their handling of Clayton Kershaw's back inflammation, Yahoo! Sports' Tim Brown reports.

    Brown said Kershaw fought the Dodgers on the decision to scratch him from Sunday's start and that the team is hopeful he'll be ready for the following series against the Giants. It sounds as though it's minor and the team is just ensuring the injury doesn't turn into something more serious.

    These teams treat their aces like babies these days and rightfully so with the money they are getting and ways they can impact a franchise.

    That trip may very well take a toll on the D-bags too. That is a lot of flying in a very short span of time.

    Meh, those games were played on Saturday USA time. Teams will have had over a full week off before playing their stateside openers (Dodgers Sunday night, Snakes Monday) so I wouldn't worry too much about the travel.

    no.

    It's an inflamed muscle in his back. Its just pre-cautionary.

    Kid will make more money this year than the entire Houston Astros organization. They must protect their investment.

    One thing that seems to be for sure is it probably won't be Greinke, he seems locked in for Tuesday and no sooner.

    per Dodgers.com:

    Mattingly indicated that Hyun-Jin Ryu or Dan Haren were the most likely candidates to make that start. Ryu reported improvement from the torn right big toenail, which was partially removed in a procedure Tuesday...Ryu, who suffered his injury running the bases in Sunday's win in Australia, said he was dramatically improved after undergoing the procedure Tuesday to remove half of the nail. He practiced his delivery on the bullpen mound during Wednesday's workout and told the club he believes he will be able to land on the right foot by Sunday night. If Ryu is unable to start Sunday night, it likely would be Haren, with Paul Maholm available to start in place of Haren on Wednesday.

    Ryu has a bullpen session scheduled for Friday. If he gets through it with no issues, he will start Sunday. If he has complications, it would be Harden.

    Kershaw now placed on 15-day DL.

    Kershaw was scratched from his scheduled start Sunday due to some back tightness, and he felt some renewed discomfort while playing catch Saturday.

    Missing the first month isn't the worst thing, they want him to be as strong as possible at the end of the year. No need to rush and make matters worse.
