Dodgers star Matt Kemp is shutting it down for the rest of the season, just as the team gears up for its first playoff appearance since 2009. Matt explained that if he keeps playing on his ankle it could break.
Thx to the best fans for your support of the team and me during a tough season! #DemBoysInBlue will do unbelievable in the postseason!
