The Los Angeles Dodgers are currently without their ace, Clayton Kershaw, after the left-hander began the season on the 10-day injured list to continue to get built up.
He dealt with should inflammation that cost him all of Spring Training and the chance to start on Opening Day for the ninth straight year. Kershaw has been making progress in his recovery, throwing a three-inning simulated game at Dodger Stadium over the weekend.
After getting through the simulated game, the next step for Kershaw is to throw a bullpen session and the take the mound for a rehab start either with Double-A Tulsa or Triple-A Oklahoma City this week.
