Dodgers' Clayton Kershaw to see live hitters next week
Clayton Kershaw (back) made it through Friday's bullpen session without any issues and will progress to facing live hitters next week.
What It Means:
Kershaw continues to progress closer and closer towards a return to the Dodgers' rotation this season. If there's no setbacks in this next session, then he could be given the green light for a minor league rehab start. An early September return appears to be a legitimate possibility for the ace southpaw.
While Kershaw has dazzled with a 1.79 ERA and 32.9 percent strikeout rate through 16 starts this season, his (still outstanding) 2.26 SIERA is on pace to be the highest since 2013.
