Shortly after playing catch at Coors Field on Monday, Clayton Kershaw packed a bag and headed for a flight back to Los Angeles. Three other pitchers on the disabled list — Scott Kazmir, Brandon McCarthy and Alex Wood — followed a similar schedule.
The quartet traveled to Denver on Sunday evening to take part in the team’s fantasy football draft. A more important assignment awaits Kershaw on Tuesday at Dodger Stadium. He will take part in a simulated game, along with McCarthy and Brett Anderson, that could be his final step before pitching in the majors.
