Joc Pederson crashes into Miller Park wall, leaves game with injury (VIDEO)

The last thing the Los Angeles Dodgers need right now is more health concerns.

Not too long after it was announced that Clayton Kershaw will have his ailing back further examined, young center fielder Joc Pederson gave his team’s fans a scare in the bottom of the eighth on Tuesday against the Brewers.

While all the focus was on the condition of Pederson, who departed with an apparent injury to his right arm/shoulder, the play actually turned out to be a sacrifice fly for the Milwaukee Brewers — who cut the Dodgers lead to 6-5.
