Walker Buehler<\/strong> left his start for the Dodgers last night after just 70 pitches due to right elbow discomfort, for the team<\/a>. It’s not an encouraging development for the first-place Dodgers. The Giants took the ballgame 7-2, but they didn’t come away unscathed either, with both starter Jakob Junis<\/strong> and Evan Longoria<\/strong> leaving the game due to injury as well. There has been no official diagnosis for any of the three injured players.<\/p>\n

On the plus side for the Dodgers, they expect to activate Clayton Kershaw<\/strong> from the injured list today, for The Athletic’s Fabian Ardaya (via Twitter<\/a>). The veteran southpaw had an excellent first five starts before landing on the injured list. Kershaw’s back has kept him out for little more than a month, but he returns owning a 1.80 ERA \/ 2.27 FIP over 30 innings with a stunning 32-to-3 strikeout-to-walk ratio.<\/p>\n

Depending on the diagnosis for Buehler’s injury, it could mean a quick return from Triple-A for Mitch White<\/strong>, who was optioned on Friday. White had been in the rotation since the end of May, making four turns through the rotation. Combined with his time in the bullpen, White has posted at 3.86 ERA \/ 3.72 FIP in 25 2\/3 innings this season.<\/p>\n
