“He’s not any better.”Robert Watkins, the Dodgers’ back specialist, will examine Kershaw, who was with the Dodgers before Tuesday’s game against the Brewers. For the 2016 Dodgers, a team that often resembles a 24-man millstone around the neck of Clayton Kershaw, few alarms can sound louder than this. Roberts expressed hope that Kershaw (11-2, 1.79 earned-run average) could make his scheduled start on Friday at Dodger Stadium. Any uncertainty with Kershaw draws attention to a pair of absences on the Dodgers roster. Kershaw was scheduled to fly to Los Angeles on Wednesday morning to undergo an examination of his sore lower back.
