Twitter Reactions: Clayton Kershaw Placed on DL

The day Los Angeles Dodger fans hoped would never come is now upon us. It was announced on Thursday that the face of the franchise and ace pitcher Clayton Kershaw will be placed on the 15-day disabled list after receiving an epidural for his lower back pain on Wednesday.

Quickly after the news spread, manager Dave Roberts spoke about the matter in a news conference while the team is in Milwaukee facing the Brewers in a 3-game series.

SportsNet LA reporter for the Dodgers, Alanna Rizzo is currently in Milwaukee reporting the latest on the Kershaw news.

Roberts said Kershaw is disappointed about 15-day DL stint but not resistant.

Roberts also said he's not 100% certain Kershaw will be ready after DL stint. Has to see how lower back responds to epidural. #Dodgers

The Dodgers decided to have Bud Norris from the Atlanta Braves start in place of Kershaw on Friday’s game vs. the Colorado Rockies.

#Dodgers have acquired RHP Bud Norris, OF Dian Toscano, a player to be named later and cash considerations from the Atlanta Braves.

Can confirm Dodgers are acquiring Bud Norris from Atlanta. Norris has a 4.22 ERA and a 3.84 FIP. He lines up for Friday. @ken_rosenthal 1st
