The Dodgers desperately need some help and it looks like they may get some soon.





Following a stint on the disabled list with a case of bicep tendinitis, Dodgers ace ​Clayton Kershaw could be making his return to the diamond as soon as next week. ​

​​The return can not come soon enough for a Dodger club that is struggling mightily. Los Angeles currently finds itself in fourth place in the NL West with a record of 19-26.

It is safe to say that the Dodgers have some work to do if they want to live up to the expectations that have been set following their World Series appearance a year ago. Kershaw will need to establish stability for reeling Los Angeles.

Dave Roberts' squad has won three straight games heading into Sunday's series finale with the Washington Nationals, and hope to keep the momentum going into a 10-game home stand where they will welcome the Colorado Rockies, San Diego Padres, and Philadelphia Phillies.





While Kershaw should provide a huge spark for this team, they are still looking for someone to step up in place of ​Corey Seager, who will miss the year after undergoing Tommy John surgery.​​
