Dodgers' Clayton Kershaw out for NLCS Game 2 with back spasms; Tony Gonsolin to start

Dodgers' Clayton Kershaw has been scratched from his Game 2 NLCS start against Atlanta with back spasms and Tony Gonsolin will start in his place.

The Dodgers’ lack of offense in Game 1 of the NLCS against the Atlanta Braves is a worrying yet all too familiar development for the team.This year, Kershaw was placed on the injured list with a lower back issue hours before he was slated to start on opening day. Dustin May replaced Kershaw that day. On Tuesday, it’ll be Gonsolin, who hasn’t pitched in the postseason.

Gonsolin threw in a simulated game Saturday at Globe Life Field. He last appeared in a game Sept. 26, when he allowed four runs in six innings against the Angels. It was his worst outing of the season. He finished the campaign with a 2.31 ERA in nine appearances . On Tuesday, he’ll be tasked to help the Dodgers avoid an 0-2 hole.
