After landing on the 10-day disabled list with a back injury for the third consecutive season, Los Angeles Dodgers ace Clayton Kershaw was able to return after just three weeks when he started last Saturday against the New York Mets at Citi Field.
Since he did not end up making a rehab start, Kershaw lasted just three innings and 55 pitches in the outing, giving up five hits and two runs while striking out four and walking one.
The results weren’t as important as him coming out of the start healthy, which Kershaw said was the case.
