Longtime Dodgers ace Clayton Kershaw took a big step in his effort to return from a pelvis injury. The 34-year-old left-hander has not pitched since May 13, but manager Dave Roberts said there had been discussions of Kershaw beginning a rehab assignment after throwing a bullpen session yesterday.
Kershaw’s return is much anticipated as the future Hall of Famer appeared to be in peak form before his injury. Kershaw is 4-0 with a 1.80 ERA and a 32 to three strikeout-to-walk ratio through five starts. In the wake of Kershaw’s injury, the Dodgers have gotten a string of great outings from Tyler Anderson and Tony Gonsolin that have kept them rolling.
