Kershaw will start Game 2 of the NLCS on Sunday, MLB.com's Ken Gurnick reports.

He came in to close out Game 5 of the NLDS on Thursday, and that will essentially serve as his bullpen session in between starts. Kershaw could now come back to start Game 5 of the NLCS on Thursday and could also be available out of the bullpen in a potential Game 7 next weekend.
