LOS ANGELES ― For three months and three days, Clayton Kershaw managed to avoid the injured list. At age 35, he was defying Father Time and his own injury history all at once.
“Any time you have to take time off it’s frustrating,” Kershaw said. “Disappointing. Just the way the season was going, I had hoped I could make it through a full season. I haven’t done that in a while. It’s always something I want to do. Anytime it doesn’t work out, it’s definitely frustrating for me, but where we’re at in the season with the break, it’s probably a good thing to take a little break now.
Kershaw was the only member of the Dodgers’ season-opening rotation who had avoided the IL so far, and he was their best pitcher when healthy. His 10 wins lead the National League. His 2.55 ERA ranks third and is remarkably in line with his 2.48 career ERA – the lowest among active qualified pitchers.. He said he will still attend the game in Seattle with his family, but lamented being unable to pitch with his children watching.
“I don’t know if I could’ve pitched this week or not,” Kershaw said. “I would’ve liked to have tried, obviously. That was a little bit above my pay grade.”The Dodgers weren’t the only team to lose a pitcher Monday. The NL All-Star team is down an arm too, and the league will have to choose a pitcher to take Kershaw’s spot on the roster.
