Brett Anderson offers to donate his back to injured teammate Clayton Kershaw
Brett Anderson just might be the most selfless teammate in the majors.
The Los Angeles Dodgers left-hander is willing to do whatever he can to help ace Clayton Kershaw return to the mound.
Hey @ClaytonKersh22 you can have whatever you want from my back even though there probably isn't a lot to choose from.

Kershaw, the three-time NL Cy Young Award winner who seemingly was on his way to a fourth, hasn't pitched since June 26 because of a back injury. He appeared to be on track to return this week, but the Dodgers announced Tuesday that he will be sidelined indefinitely after suffering a setback over the weekend.
As for Anderson, he has yet to pitch at all this season after surgery in March to repair a bulging disk in his back.
