The Los Angeles Dodgers have placed Clayton Kershaw on the injured list with left forearm inflammation.

"I don't know how long it's going to be," Dave Roberts said of Kershaw's absence. "We're trying to be smart about this and understand that we have the All-Star break. Obviously, there is a lot left of the season, so pushing him doesn't make a whole lot of sense."

Kershaw is 9-7 with a 3.39 ERA in 106 innings this season.
