Dodgers pitcher Clayton Kershaw will be placed on a rehab program that includes submaximal throwing for the next two-to-three weeks, the Los Angeles Times reports.
Kershaw will be re-evaluated at the conclusion of the submaximal throwing program. Throw in a few rehab starts and, even if everything goes according to plan, it's hard to see him back in the majors in April. Kershaw is on the disabled list with a back injury after allowing one run in 6 2/3 innings in his team's Australia opener.
