Clayton Kershaw completed two simulated innings on Tuesday afternoon at Dodger Stadium, but team officials indicated the Dodgers ace probably will require a minor league rehabilitation start before he can be activated from the disabled list.
“My guess is that Kersh will want to pitch in a major league game tomorrow,” said Andrew Friedman, the team’s president of baseball operations. “With the time he’s missed, my guess would be the next step would be a minor league assignment. I think it will take a little bit of time to build him up in a way for him to be strong through September and hopefully October, as well.
