Dodgers' Scott Kazmir: Headed for MRI

Kazmir is set to undergo a precautionary MRI after leaving Monday's Cactus League outing due to tightness in his left hip, Alanna Rizzo of SportsNet Los Angeles reports.

Analysis:

Although more specifics about the injury won't be known until the test results are in, it's a good sign that the Dodgers are labeling the MRI as precautionary. It's likely that they're being extra careful with the southpaw, who spent all offseason addressing mechanics that have caused him issues in the past. For his part, Kazmir is hopeful he'll be back with a week, according to Rizzo, but we'll have to wait and see how the Dodgers decide to handle him.
