Clayton Kershaw is dealing with a "cranky" pitching shoulder and remains optimistic he'll be able to make his next start for the Los Angeles Dodgers.

Kershaw said that he felt some tenderness in his left shoulder during his last outing Tuesday at the Colorado Rockies.

He carried a no-hitter into the sixth inning and left the game after 79 pitches and one hit allowed in an eventual 5-0 win. Kershaw, 35, said he underwent a medical exam on Wednesday and was given a shot to relieve inflammation.

"So somewhat optimistic that it should be good to hopefully not miss a start," said Kershaw, who leads the Dodgers with a 2.55 ERA and 105 strikeouts. "With the All-Star break coming up, we have some time to potentially shift things around, so we'll see. But as of now, I'm kind of on the same day-to-day basis."

The Los Angeles Dodgers will activate Julio Urias off the injured list on Saturday to start against the Kansas City Royals.

The left-hander has been out since May 18 due to a hamstring injury. 

Urias had a 4.39 ERA and 53 strikeouts in 55 1/3 innings prior the injury. He finished third in National League Cy Young voting in 2022.

The Cincinnati Reds will likely be without Hunter Greene into the month of August.

Greene was placed on the injured list last week with right hip discomfort. The pitcher is headed to Arizona for a strengthening program and will need to follow that with a throwing program of four to six weeks in length, according to a report.

The 23-year-old leads the Reds with 73 1/3 innings pitched this season, posting a 3.93 ERA and 100 strikeouts.

Aaron Judge played catch before Wednesday's game in his first baseball activity since tearing a ligament in his right big toe June 3.

"There's a lot of steps we've got to take to get back to going on the field," the New York Yankees outfielder said. "So this is just another step along the way."

Judge was injured when he slammed into the outfield wall at Dodger Stadium while making a catch.

Matthew Boyd will undergo Tommy John surgery after sustaining a partial sprain of his ulnar collateral ligament during Monday night's game.

Boyd, 32, departed the game between the Detroit Tigers and Texas Rangers in the first inning due to the injury.

He underwent flexor tendon surgery on his pitching arm in September 2021 when he was a member of the Tigers and returned to action 11-plus months later when he was on the Seattle Mariners.

He returned to the Tigers this past offseason on a one-year, $10 million deal.

The Miami Marlins have activated Jazz Chisholm, Jr. from the injured list.

Chisholm hasn't played since May 13 because of a right turf toe injury suffered when he collided with the center-field wall while attempting to make a catch last month. 

This is his first season playing the outfield; he spent his first three years primarily at second base.

Chisholm is hitting .229/.291/.403 in 144 at-bats this season. He has 14 stolen bases.

Jose De Leon will miss the rest of the season after tearing a ligament in his pitching elbow, which will require Tommy John surgery, the Minnesota Twins have confirmed.

He suffered the injury while warming up in the top of the eighth inning of Minnesota's 3-2 loss to the Detroit Tigers on Saturday. 

De Leon will undergo Tommy John surgery for the second time in his career -- having already missed the 2018 season after suffering a torn ulnar collateral ligament.

The Chicago White Sox do not expect to have Mike Clevinger or Liam Hendriks back before the All-Star break.

Clevinger went on the 15-day injured list on June 16 because of right biceps inflammation, while Hendriks went on the 15-day IL on June 11 because of right elbow inflammation.

"Oh, I don't think they'll be back before the All-Star break," Pedro Grifol said.

New York Yankees slugger Aaron Judge said Saturday he has a torn ligament in his right big toe and is experiencing pain when he walks.

When the Yankees placed Judge on the injured list June 6, the team said he was dealing with a contusion and a sprained ligament in his right big toe. There remains no timetable for the return of the reigning American League MVP.

"I've got to knock out the rehab stuff," Judge said. "I've had different injuries over the years where it's going to take a while. It's not going to be perfect here in a couple of weeks. Once we can manage the pain, we're going to be in a good spot."

Los Angeles Angels infielder Gio Urshela is likely to miss the rest of the season with a broken pelvis.

Urshela was enjoying a solid debut season for the Angels before he fell awkwardly at first base while trying to beat out his grounder on June 15 at the Texas Rangers.

The Colombian veteran has seen two specialists to determine he won't need surgery, but the rest and recovery time necessary to heal are likely to prevent him from playing again in 2023.
