Dodgers starting pitcher Clayton Kershaw impressed onlookers during a bullpen session Tuesday, and he is now ready for the next step in his recovery from a back injury.
Kershaw threw his entire repertoire in the session, setting him up for the next phase of his recovery. Though the team has yet to specific exactly what that will be, MLB.com reports he is likely to begin a minor-league rehab assignment Friday at Class A Racho Cucamonga.
Clayton Kershaw has not pitched since suffering the injury following his opening day victory in Australia. It is not yet known exactly how much time he will need to spend in the minors before he can come back.
