Kershaw back tomorrow vs. deGrom
全文:
NEW YORK -- Dodgers ace Clayton Kershaw will come off the disabled list and st
art Saturday night's game against the Mets, forgoing a previously scheduled Mi
nor League rehabilitation assignment, manager Dave Roberts announced before Fr
iday night's series opener at Citi Field.
Kershaw has been limited to one start since May 1. He first went on the DL wit
h left biceps tendinitis, was activated for one five-inning start on May 31, t
hen went back on the DL with a strained lower back. Kershaw will be opposing M
ets ace Jacob deGrom and his Major League-leading 1.51 ERA. deGrom has posted
a 0.90 ERA with 90 strikeouts in 70 1/3 innings over his last 11 starts.
After bullpen sessions and a simulated game, Kershaw was to make a rehab start
on Saturday night for Triple-A Oklahoma City in Omaha, Neb. But with rain exp
ected in Omaha, as it is in New York on Saturday, Dodgers management was convi
nced (in large part by Kershaw) to call an audible.
"We're going to keep him here with us," Roberts said. "With the weather uncert
ainty in Omaha, to make his start is probably the best thing for him and for u
s. We don't know how much he's going to pitch. Obviously, there is a limitatio
n with him.
"Yeah, there's weather [expected in New York]. As I understand it, there's a p
otential delay, but we'll be mindful of it. We're not going to do anything to
put him in harm's way."
Caleb Ferguson, originally announced as Saturday's Dodgers starter, will remai
n active and serve as a long reliever to take over if Kershaw's start is cut s
hort. That means Kershaw's return will force the removal of another player fro
m the active roster.
"He did play a little weatherman," Roberts confirmed of Kershaw's role.
Roberts had initially expressed concerns about Kershaw's readiness for Major L
eague competition, with the lefty having pitched only five innings in the past
six weeks.
"The thing is, we're going to obviously monitor the length for tomorrow," Robe
rts said. "We feel comfortable and confident."
Kershaw, a three-time National League Cy Young Award winner, began the year wi
th some tough luck, going 1-4 despite posting a 2.76 ERA and a 3.46 FIP. Eyes
will likely be on the radar gun on Saturday, as the southpaw was recording the
lowest fastball velocities of his career before landing on the DL.
Rich Hill will start for the Dodgers on Sunday, and Kenta Maeda will start on
Monday.
Worth noting
‧ Chris Taylor, removed from Wednesday's game due to a tight left hamstring,
was not in the starting lineup on Friday night, but he said he would probably
be available off the bench to pinch-hit. Roberts said he will be re-evaluated
on Saturday. Enrique Hernandez started at shortstop.
‧ Rookie right-hander Walker Buehler is still experiencing some pain in his m
icrofractured rib, but he'll throw a bullpen session to determine if he's clos
e to being activated off the DL. Buehler made three starts before the injury w
as diagnosed. It was caused by a 108-mph line drive that drilled him on May 21
, but Buehler wasn't placed on the DL until he had to be removed from a June 8
start with pain and difficulty breathing.

簡單翻譯一下
書僮走出傷兵名單,將會在美國時間禮拜六晚上對上大都會deGrom, 不過根據氣象預報,
可能會下雨,所以也可能延後就是了。
而原先預計禮拜六先發的菜鳥Ferguson並不會下放,而是轉成長中繼,畢竟不知道書僮回
來的第一場可以投多長。
Rich Hill預計禮拜天先發
前田預計下禮拜一
先前因本壘板攻防而D2D的Taylor並不在禮拜五的先發打線,不過視情況可能在板凳隨時
擔任代打
Kike 先發游擊
Walker Buehler 對肋骨輕微骨折還是會有一些疼痛的感受,不過他將會在牛棚試投來評
估狀況。
