Clayton Kershaw made one start, then headed back to the disabled list:

Los Angeles Dodgers ace Clayton Kershaw has returned to the disabled list, this time with a strained lower back.

The three-time NL Cy Young Award winner experienced tightness during his five-inning outing against Philadelphia on Thursday. The Dodgers made the move Friday before their game at Colorado.

The 30-year-old left-hander has spent time on the DL in each of the past two seasons with a back injury.

I suspect the Dodgers got their hopes up that with Kershaw back and them starting a series with the Rockies, things might be turning around. They will need to soldier on without their ace.
