Kershaw Out Indefinitely

The Los Angeles Dodgers scratched Cy Young winner Clayton Kershaw from Sunday's scheduled start against the St. Louis Cardinals and announced the left-hander is out indefinitely. The 24-year-old has been dealing with inflammation in his right hip.

Kershaw has an appointment with a hip specialist in New York on Tuesday and will join the Dodgers in Washington after that. Manager Don Mattingly said he has no idea when -- or even if -- Kershaw will pitch again this season.


Kershaw declined to speak with reporters Saturday. Mattingly said Kershaw tried to test the injury by going through his delivery without a ball Saturday, but was in too much pain to go further. When Mattingly scratched Kershaw from a start in San Francisco last Sunday, Kershaw admitted he was irritated with the manager.

"There was no fight as far as him wanting to pitch this time," Mattingly said. "He knows he can't pitch with this."

Kershaw leads the National League with 206 2/3 innings. He is 12-9 with a 2.70 ERA.

No CBA Reach NHL Lock Out in Effect

The September 15th deadline for a new Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA)  between the National Hockey League and National Hockey League Players' Association passed without any agreement being reached.

Therefore as a result, the training camps will not open until an agreement over the new CBA is reached. The NHL has instituted a lock out of the players til an agreement is collectively reached and agreed upon.

Executives from the NHL and NHLPA last met on Wednesday, when proposals for a new CBA was exchanged. However, an agreement was not reached at that time and Deputy Commissioner Bill Daly said Saturday that there were no formal negotiating sessions are scheduled.

Commissioner Daly stated "We spoke [Saturday] and determined that there was no point in convening a formal bargaining session in light of the fact that neither side is in a position to move off of its last proposal. I'm sure we will keep in touch in the coming days and schedule meetings to the extent they might be useful or appropriate. We are sorry for where we are. Not what we hoped or expected."
