<\/p>\nClayton Kershaw was named to his 11th All-Star Game on Sunday by Commissioner Rob Manfred, who used his \u201cLegend Pick\u201d to select the Dodgers\u2019 left-hander. Kershaw (4-0) is one of just 20 pitchers in baseball history to strike out 3,000 batters.<\/p>\n
He\u2019ll be joined on the N.L. team by right-hander Yoshinobu Yamamoto, who leads the Dodgers in wins (8), strikeouts (109), innings (96 2\/3) and ERA (2.51). The Dodgers declined to make either Kershaw or Yamamoto available to the media after their selections.<\/p>\n

Injury update
\nThe Dodgers\u2019 injury-battered pitching staff could soon be getting healthier. Right-hander Tyler Glasnow threw a bullpen Sunday in preparation for what Roberts will be a return to the rotation during the Dodgers\u2019 six-game roadtrip. Glasnow has been out sine April 28 with shoulder discomfort. He had a 4.50 ERA in five starts before going on the IL.<\/p>\n
Left-hander Blake Snell and reliever Blake Treinen are both scheduled to make minor-league rehab assignments this week in advance for their return to the roster. Snell, a two-time Cy Young winner, as been sidelined since April 2 with a shoulder injury, is expected to pitch for Class A Rancho Cucamonga. Treinen, who last pitched in mid-April, is expected to make a one-inning outing with Triple A Oklahoma City. He is recovering from a right forearm strain.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
