LOS ANGELES - Clayton Kershaw will face hitters Tuesday as he sets his sights on returning to the Los Angeles Dodgers in September.
The team's staff ace had a 60-pitch bullpen session Friday at Dodger Stadium and is expected to square off against Dodgers minor leaguers in a simulated game either in Los Angeles or at the team's complex in Arizona while the rest of the club is in Colorado for a three-game series.
"Yeah I'm excited," Kershaw said. "The next step is to face hitters so I'm excited to do that for sure.
