Kershaw (back) will face hitters Saturday, Andy McCullough of the LA Times reports.
It was reported earlier Thursday that Kershaw was going to face hitters Sunday, but he'll be bumped up a day to Saturday. The Dodgers have yet to announce how many innings he'll toss Saturday, but there is a growing sentiment that Kershaw will be able to come off the disabled list without going out on a rehab assignment. A further update on Kershaw's timetable figures to be made available after he throws Saturday.
