The Los Angeles Dodgers have announced that Clayton Kershaw will miss at least two to three more weeks with a back injury.

Kershaw consulted with team physician Neal ElAttrache, who reviewed an MRI scan and recommended the left-hander be placed on a rehab that includes a submaximal throwing program.

He will then be re-evaluated to determine when he can start throwing at increased velocity.

The Dodgers have no timetable for his return beyond the two to three weeks.
