Manager Dave Roberts said Sunday that Kershaw (shoulder) could be placed on the injured list Monday, Matthew Moreno of DodgerBlue.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Kershaw has been managing left shoulder inflammation in recent days, but the team has been hesitant to place him on the injured list. The southpaw threw off flat ground Saturday, and his turn through the rotation comes Monday against the Pirates, but it seems possible that the Dodgers will choose to shut him down through the All-Star break. If Kershaw lands on the IL, Michael Grove is a candidate to be recalled.

Manager Dave Roberts said Kershaw (shoulder) made some progress during Sunday's throwing session, though a decision has yet to be made about whether the left-hander will start Monday versus the Pirates, Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Dodgers have been hesitant to place Kershaw on the injured list as he manages left shoulder inflammation, but that transaction could be forced if he's unable to start on turn Monday. The beginning of the All-Star break is just one week away, which is sure to be a factor as Los Angeles makes its decision.

Kershaw (shoulder) threw off flat ground Saturday, and the Dodgers will decide Sunday if he's ready to start Monday against the Pirates, Mike DiGiovanna of the Los Angeles Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Kershaw is dealing with left shoulder inflammation, and while the issue hasn't yet been bad enough to send him to the injured list, that remains a distinct possibility. The All-Star break arrives in just over a week, so even missing one start would mean that Kershaw might as well hit the injured list. If that is indeed the case, Michael Grove would likely start Monday and could be in line for a two-start week, with another potential outing coming next weekend against the Angels.

Kershaw acknowledged Thursday that he's dealing with left shoulder inflammation, Mike DiGiovanna of the Los Angeles Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Kershaw said his shoulder got "cranky" toward the end of his last start Tuesday in Colorado, though he was able to cover six scoreless innings while notching his 10th win of the season. He received a cortisone injection and won't throw for the next few days, but the Dodgers aren't placing him on the injured list just yet and he could still fit in another outing before the All-Star break. When that outing would be is uncertain, and there probably won't be any more clarity on his schedule until after this brief shutdown period. "I'm not gonna be stupid about it," the veteran southpaw told reporters Thursday.

Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said Kershaw went through his usual post-start workout Wednesday and is expected to make his next start after requesting to be removed from Tuesday's win over Colorado, Mike DiGiovanna of the Los Angeles Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Kershaw tossed a gem Tuesday, holding the Rockies hitless until there were two outs in the sixth inning and finishing with six scoreless frames. However, he asked to be removed after tossing just 79 pitches, later explaining that he "didn't feel great overall" and "just needed to come out right there," per Matthew Moreno of DodgerBlue.com. Kershaw also suggested that he expects to make his next start, and Roberts indicated support for that notion one day later, though he also suggested that he's not sure when that start may be. That could mean Kershaw is pushed back a day or two, though such a scenario is only speculation at this point.

Kershaw (10-4) earned the win Tuesday, allowing one hit and one walk over six scoreless innings against the Rockies. He struck out two.

EDGE Analysis

Kershaw blanked the Rockies across six innings Tuesday, allowing just one hit despite fanning a season-low two batters. The outing was his second consecutive start without allowing a run and marked his third time doing so in his last four. Though the Rockies' offense struggles on the road, they boast the seventh most runs per game at home at the incredibly hitter-friendly Coors Field, making Kershaw's performance even more impressive. Despite being in year 16, Kershaw has been one of MLB's best arms as of late, owning a 1.09 ERA and a 30:8 K:BB with four wins in the month of June (33 innings). He'll look to build on the impressive stretch in his next start, which is tentatively scheduled to come against the Pirates.

Kershaw (9-4) struck out five and earned the win Tuesday against the Angels after he allowed five hits and two walks over seven scoreless innings.

EDGE Analysis

The veteran left-hander completed seven frames for the third time in his past four starts, and he has three wins and a 1.33 ERA, 1.00 WHIP and 28:7 K:BB during that stretch. Kershaw is throwing as well as ever with a 2.72 ERA and 10.4 K/9 across 89.1 innings this year, and he's already made 15 starts after being limited to 22 starts in each of the previous two seasons.

Kershaw allowed two runs on six hits and two walks while striking out five over six innings in a no-decision versus the White Sox on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Home runs by Jake Burger and Luis Robert accounted for the damage on Kershaw's line. This was just the fourth time he's allowed multiple homers this season. The veteran southpaw has turned in three straight quality starts after enduring a rough patch to close out May. Kershaw is at a 2.95 ERA, 1.11 WHIP and 98:21 K:BB over 82.1 innings through 14 starts. He's lined up for a road start versus the Angels next week.

Kershaw (8-4) earned the win Thursday, allowing five hits and two walks over seven scoreless innings against the Reds. He struck out nine.

EDGE Analysis

Kershaw (8-4) cruised through the Reds lineup Thursday, allowing just five hits and six baserunners over seven shutout innings to notch his National League-leading eighth win. The veteran lefty struck out nine batters in the contest for the second straight start, while it was his third time throwing seven scoreless frames this season. Kershaw continues to show no signs of slowing down in his 16th season, producing 17 swinging strikes in Thursday's win.

Kershaw (7-4) earned the win Friday, allowing two runs on four hits and one walk over 7 innings against the Yankees. He struck out nine.

EDGE Analysis

Kershaw bounced back in his first start in June after a rough May. The lefty allowed eight earned runs over 8.2 innings in his previous two starts combined, as he had a 5.55 ERA in May. He cruised through the Yankees' order, tying a season-high nine strikeouts. Kershaw's K/9 sits at 10.90, the second-highest mark of his career. He has been dominant at home, with a 1.45 ERA, but Kershaw has struggled away from Los Angeles, posting a 4.70 ERA in road games. He is projected to make his next start on the road against the Reds.
