Kershaw did not exactly enjoy the injury break.
Clayton, what did you learn from this experience?
"I’ll never get hurt again because it’s awful"— Bill Plunkett (@billplunkettocr) September 4, 2016
How good was Kershaw before the injury? He’s still second in the National League in wins above replacement despite missing the last two months. He says he feels great, and if that’s the case, he’ll provide an enormous boost to the Dodgers down the stretch.
