Kershaw (shoulder) threw a 31-pitch bullpen session Thursday, mixing in all his pitches except his curveball in a max effort fashion, Jorge Castillo of the Los Angeles Times reports.
Castillo said Kershaw looked happy after the session. The next step for him is to advance to live batting practice next week. The southpaw will take the next few days off before throwing another bullpen with an emphasis on his breaking pitches, per Ken Gurnick of MLB.com.
