Manager Dave Roberts reported Tuesday that Kershaw (back) will likely throw a bullpen session this weekend in Los Angeles, Andy McCullough of the Los Angeles Times reports.
If he is indeed able to complete the scheduled bullpen session, it'll be Kershaw's first work from the mound since suffering his lower-back strain on July 23. Alanna Rizzo of SportsNetLA also reports that the ace will require a simulated game and a rehab assignment before returning to the majors. Though he remains without a timetable for return, Dave Roberts believes that Kershaw will ultimately be able to make four or five starts with the Dodgers before the regular seasons concludes, Ken Gurnick of MLB.com reports.
