Walker Buehler (forearm strain) placed on 15-day IL

Fantasy Impact: Buehler was set for an MRI on his elbow after a rough outing on Friday during which he complained of elbow soreness. The MRI obviously revealed the strain, and Buehler will be sidelined for at least 15 days, but likely longer. As most fantasy managers know, forearm strains are often related to issues with a pitcher’s elbow, so it’s possible (though far from certain) that Buehler is dealing with a serious injury. For now, avoid the rush to sell low on Buehler and wait for more word from the Dodgers that hopefully downplays the severity of the injury.

Clayton Kershaw (pelvis) activated from the IL

Fantasy Impact: Kershaw was originally expected to return on Sunday, but he will instead pitch against the Giants on Saturday. It will be his first start since May 7 when he suffered right SI joint inflammation. Kershaw will look to pick up where he left off as he posted a 1.80 ERA across five starts up until his injury.

Mike Clevinger placed on COVID-19 IL on Saturday

Fantasy Impact: Tough break for Clevinger since he just returned from the injured list due to a triceps strain and was looking to build some momentum. On the season Clevinger has a win with a 3.18 ERA and 20 strikeouts over 17 innings pitched. In a corresponding move, the Brewers called up Ray Kerr and Reiss Knehr from Triple-A El Paso as Adrian Morejon was also placed on the COVID-19 injured list.
