It was short, sweet and to the point, yet it was the one tweet that every Dodger fan on the planet needed and has been impatiently waiting for:

The tweet came exactly nine excruciating hours after those same Dodgers released this statement – verbatim – to the media:

LOS ANGELES – The Los Angeles Dodgers today placed left-handed pitcher Clayton Kershaw on the 10-day disabled list with left bicep tendonitis and recalled right-handed pitcher Brock Stewart from Triple-A Oklahoma City.

Kershaw, 30, has made seven starts this season going 1-4 with a 2.86 ERA (14 ER/44.0 IP) and has held hitters to a .234 average, while striking out 48 against just 10 walks. The southpaw last started on Tuesday against the Diamondbacks, allowing two runs on six hits and striking out six in 6.0 innings as he did not factor in the decision.

Stewart, 26, who will make his second stint with the big league club this year, made his 2018 debut on April 30 against the Diamondbacks, allowing one run and striking out three in 1.2 innings of relief with the Dodgers. The right-hander has made four starts with Oklahoma City this season, going 1-0 with a 2.41 ERA (5 ER/18.2 IP) and has struck out 20 batters against just six walks, while limiting the opposition to a .200 average. In 2017, Stewart appeared in 17 games (four starts) with Los Angeles, collecting one save and posting a 3.41 ERA (13 ER/34.1 IP), while holding batters to a .226 average.

Although there is no time table as to when the seven-time All-Star, five-time ERA champ, three-time Cy Young award winner, 2014 NL MVP, Triple Crown winner, Gold Glove winner, and former MLB Player of the Year will return to action, he will not … I repeat, he will not require surgery; and any way you slice it – no pun intended – this is great news.

We will provide additional updates as they become available, but for now, back away from the ledge, Dodger fans.

…and rejoice.
