Clayton Kershaw, whose aversion to the disabled list is as deep-seated as anyone in baseball, was asked what he learned from the experience of sitting out these last two months because of a herniated disk in his lower back. “I’ll never get hurt again,” the Dodgers left-hander and three-time National League Cy Young Award winner said on Sunday. Kershaw, Roberts said, will start on Friday in Miami after feeling no ill effects from Saturday night’s three-inning, one-hit rehabilitation stint for Class-A Rancho Cucamonga. “I only know how I feel right now, and I feel good,” Kershaw said. “The good thing about getting into a game is that you’re thinking about getting a hitter out as opposed to how you feel,” Kershaw said.
