Kershaw (back) pitched three scoreless innings, striking out five and giving up one hit in his rehabilitation start for High-A Rancho Cucamonga on Saturday.

Kershaw needed just 34 pitches (23 strikes) to make it through three innings. The Quakes have qualified for the playoffs in the California League, so there will more opportunities to give Kershaw a start, should the Dodgers want to get his pitch count up. If they feel the one start is enough, we could see Kershaw back with the Dodgers to start Friday in Miami.
