Clayton Kershaw has been shut down for a week after experiencing lingering soreness in his comeback from left shoulder surgery.
Kershaw, 36, had an MRI that \"showed no new incidents,\" Los Angeles Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said.
\"You go through surgery. You go through rehab. You start throwing. You ramp up velocity, workload,\" Roberts said, \"and there is bound to be some soreness, and that\'s where we\'re at.
\"So then you do the scan to see if there\'s a new incident, which there wasn\'t, so that\'s why we feel very comfortable and confident that this is just a blip.\"
Kershaw had surgery on his throwing arm in November, a month after he recorded just one out in Game 1 of the National League Division Series against the Arizona Diamondbacks.
