Clayton Kershaw scratched from start on Wednesday with sore hip

Dodgers pitcher Clayton Kershaw will not make his scheduled start against the Oakland Athletics on Wednesday after being scratched from the lineup with a sore right hip.

“It’s a little sore right now,� Kershaw said. “Figure give it a couple days and you’re good to go.�

Kershaw has been nearly unhittable in July, allowing one earned run in 33 innings while striking out 45 batters. Filling in for him is Mike Bolsinger, who has a 5-3 record and a 2.79 earned-run average this season.

“It’s just probably the right decision to let Bolsinger pitch tonight,� Kershaw said. “He’s on regular rest, so it works out for him to pitch. And just with off days and stuff, it seemed like a good time to give it a shot.�

The Dodgers didn’t play Tuesday and have another off day Thursday. Manager Don Mattingly told reporters he first noticed something was amiss with Kershaw after the conclusion of their series against the Mets.

“Yesterday he was still a little tender,� Mattingly said.

The new plan is to have Kershaw pitch Friday against the Angels, though that could change if he still has any discomfort.

Meanwhile, third baseman Justin Turner continues to rest at home with a thigh infection. He’s expected to be re-examined after the Dodgers’ off day.

“He came in today and is still on antibiotics,� Mattingly said. “At this point, we’re hopeful it’s just a few days.�
