PHOENIX -- Los Angeles Dodgers left-hander Clayton Kershaw left his start against the Arizona Diamondbacks on Friday night due to pain in his left big toe.

Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said the pain is a lingering issue from a bone spur, adding that Kershaw could end up on the injured list.

Kershaw allowed two runs in the first and was pulled with no outs in the second after giving up a homer to Corbin Carroll to start the inning.

Roberts immediately came out of the dugout with an athletic trainer and removed the three-time NL Cy Young Award winner after Carroll's 18th homer curled just inside the right foul pole.

Carroll's homer cut Los Angeles' lead to 5-3. The Dodgers went on to win 10-9 to extend their advantage on the Diamondbacks to five games in the NL West.

Kershaw had made six starts since spending the first four months of the season on the injured list as he recovered from offseason shoulder surgery. He entered the game 2-2 with a 3.72 ERA.

The Dodgers have been hit hard by pitching injuries this season, with Walker Buehler, Brusdar Graterol and Yoshinobu Yamamoto among the players missing time.
