Dodgers' Clayton Kershaw: 'No worries' about back heading into 2017

Kershaw said Wednesday that he has "no worries or concerns" about last year's back injury, Bill Plunkett of the Orange County Register reports.

Kershaw followed up those statements by throwing his first bullpen session of the spring. The three-time Cy Young winner missed more than two months last season with a herniated disc in his back, but he showed no ill effects upon his return, allowing just four earned runs with a 27:2 K:BB in his final 28 regular-season innings. He's the unquestioned No. 1 arm once again in fantasy baseball drafts.
