QUICK HITS

The words “season-ending surgery” and “Clayton Kershaw” in the same sentence have the Dodgers and fantasy owners alike crossing their fingers. You can’t replace a pitcher who is 99-35 with a 2.08 ERA with a 0.913 WHIP and 1,394 strikeouts in 1,249 innings since 2011.

Despite the sexual assault accusations, the Pirates plan on moving forward with Jung Ho Kang bobblehead night on Aug. 11. Maybe the Pirates should try using the doll in their lineup, because Kang is 6-for-34 (.176) with just two RBIs, 13 strikeouts and a .498 OPS this month.

Jedd Gyorko hit .429 with four homers and seven RBIs in his first six games after the AllStar break. Pick him up and rename your team: Return of the Jeddi, or Better off Jedd, or JeddPool (good luck trying to rhyme Gyorko with, well, anything).
