The Starting Infirmary

Go figure. Just as quickly as the Dodgers were set with a six-man rotation, it quickly dwindled down to four again.

Yesterday we learned of Clayton Kershaw's freak injury, albeit a very minor one, today we find out that Randy Wolf will be shelved for his next start Friday with stiffness in the back of his pitching elbow.

The injury is not considered to be serious, and it is unrelated to his Tommy John surgery back in 2005. Wolf received a cortisone shot on the elbow and early reports are he was feeling much better. But to be sure, the Dodgers aren't taking any chances and Hiroki Kuroda, who just came off the DL himself, will take his spot and pitch Friday in San Francisco.
