Dodgers' Clayton Kershaw lands on injured list with forearm inflammation

The Los Angeles Dodgers placed starter Clayton Kershaw on the injured list Thursday because of left forearm inflammation. Kershaw, 33, had been off to a respectable start this season. In his first 18 outings, he had compiled a 3.39 ERA (112 ERA+) and a 6.68 strikeout-to-walk ratio. Those numbers, though below his norms, still made him an asset.
