In the midst of a second consecutive down season, the Los Angeles Dodgers demoted Yasiel Puig to Triple-A last month in hopes of sparking him for a late season run.

Kershaw has been out since June 26 with a lower-back injury, and it is possible he could return to the Dodgers on the club’s next road trip, which starts next Friday and takes the team to Miami, Yankee Stadium and Arizona. “But I don’t think a blister can be willed to stay healthy, no matter how much will he has”, Roberts said, according to the Los Angeles Times, regarding the team’s decision to push back Hill’s start”.
