Roberts said Kershaw will travel with the team to Los Angeles when the Dodgers break camp, and not stay behind in Arizona to pitch in minor league games. Teams can backdate stints on the 10-day injured list up to three days before opening day as long as the player does not appear in an official exhibition game. That includes Cactus League and Freeway Series games. Roberts said the club hasn’t decided if Kershaw will start the season on the roster.
