The Los Angeles Dodgers have moved Clayton Kershaw to the 60-day disabled list.

Kershaw had been on the 15-day disabled list since June 27, the day after a start at Pittsburgh when he came away with a lower back injury. He was diagnosed with a mild disk herniation but had a setback shortly after the All-Star break.

The left-hander is now only eligible to return Aug. 27, but the Dodgers did not expect him back before that date anyway.

"It's more of a logistical-type move in that he wasn't going to be ready before then," Dave Roberts said. "To get him on the 60-day, he's still doing his exercises and his progressions. Hopefully he'll be back sooner than later."
