US EditionDodgers’ Freddie Freeman Drives in 3 Runs to Back Clayton Kershaw’s Scoreless Outing
LOS ANGELES COUNTY, CALIFORNIA, AUG 2 – Kirby Yates joins injured list due to lower back pain as Dodgers rely on new acquisition Paul Gervase and start Clayton Kershaw in series opener against Rays.
- On August 1, 2025, the Dodgers started Clayton Kershaw and activated Paul Gervase after Kirby Yates went on the IL with lower back pain.
- Facing a roster shortfall caused by Kirby Yates’ back issue, the Dodgers did not pursue major trades during Thursday’s deadline, relying instead on key players to rebound.
- Supporting those roster moves, Kershaw produced his second scoreless outing, issuing zero walks, and Wrobleski allowed one hit with five strikeouts in relief.
- The game drew a sellout crowd of 10,046 at Tropicana Field, with the Dodgers winning 5-0 in front of full attendance.
- Next up, Blake Snell returns from the injured list Saturday at Steinbrenner Field to face Drew Rasmussen .
