Clayton Kershaw will not be included on the Dodgers' Wild Card roster. He will start today's game, and the start will proceed as normal. The Dodgers recalled right-hander Landon Knack to add a fresh arm to the pitching staff. Left-hander Andrew Heaney was optioned as the corresponding roster move. The change shifts a left-handed pitcher out of the immediate postseason roster while still utilizing Kershaw on the mound for the scheduled start. The roster adjustment emphasizes short-term pitching availability and depth ahead of the Wild Card period.
"Dodgers manager Dave Roberts tells Jack Harris of the Los Angeles Times that left-hander Clayton Kershaw will not be on the club's Wild Card roster."
"The veteran southpaw is starting today's game and it will be a normal start for him."
"The Dodgers recalled right-hander Landon Knack to give them a fresh arm, with left-hander Andrew Heaney optioned out as the corresponding move. More to come."
