Dodgers’ Clayton Kershaw Exits Early, Corbin Carroll Launches Solo Home Run

Kershaw Suffers Another Setback

Los Angeles Dodgers ace Clayton Kershaw exited his start against the San Diego Padres in the third inning with left pelvic discomfort. Kershaw had thrown just 37 pitches and allowed two runs on three hits before leaving the game. This is the latest setback for Kershaw, who has been battling injuries all season. He has now made just three starts in 2023.

Carroll Continues to Impress

While Kershaw's injury was a disappointment, the Dodgers did get some good news from rookie Corbin Carroll. Carroll launched a solo home run in the fourth inning, his second homer of the season. Carroll has been one of the bright spots for the Dodgers this season, and he is quickly becoming a fan favorite.

Looking Ahead

The Dodgers will now turn to Tony Gonsolin to start in Kershaw's place on Sunday. Gonsolin has been solid this season, and the Dodgers will need him to step up in Kershaw's absence. The Dodgers are hoping that Kershaw's injury is not serious, but they will need to be prepared to play without him for an extended period of time.

What's Next?

• The Dodgers will play the Padres again on Sunday at Dodger Stadium.
• Kershaw will undergo further evaluation to determine the extent of his injury.
• Carroll will continue to be a key part of the Dodgers' offense.
