Dodgers Ace Clayton Kershaw Exits Game Early With Possible Arm Injury

Clayton Kershaw, the Los Angeles Dodgers' ace pitcher, exited his start against the Milwaukee Brewers on Friday after just four innings due to an apparent arm injury.

Injury Details

According to the Dodgers, Kershaw is experiencing discomfort in his left forearm. The injury occurred in the fourth inning when he threw a pitch to Brewers outfielder Tyrone Taylor.

Kershaw immediately grabbed his arm and walked off the mound. He was replaced by reliever Phil Bickford.

Kershaw's Importance to the Dodgers

Kershaw is one of the most important players on the Dodgers and his injury could be a significant blow to the team.

The 34-year-old left-hander has been a mainstay in the Dodgers' rotation for over a decade. He has won three National League Cy Young Awards and is a nine-time All-Star.

Next Steps

The Dodgers have not yet announced how long Kershaw will be out. He is scheduled to undergo an MRI on Saturday to determine the severity of the injury.

If Kershaw is forced to miss a significant amount of time, the Dodgers will have to make adjustments to their rotation.
