Kazmir said he was removed from Saturday's outing for precautionary reasons after he felt a twinge in his abdomen, but maintains that he is 100 percent healthy, Ken Gurnick of MLB.com reports.

Analysis:

Kazmir exited Saturday's start after just four frames, but there was no apparent injury issue when he came out of the game. He said that the abdominal issue was minor, but the Dodgers opted to take the cautious route with him which is not surprising given the club's difficult luck with injuries this spring. Andy McCullough of the L.A Times reports that Kazmir expects to make his next scheduled start Thursday.
