Dodgers Return Looks Promising for Clayton Kershaw Following Successful Rehab Start

It may not be long before the Dodgers get their all-star pitcher back in the rotation, following a productive rehab start by Clayton Kershaw.

“I think I’m pitching again in four or five days,” Kershaw said alluding to a possible return to the Dodgers.

Before the game it was believed that Kershaw had very strict restrictions heading into the start for the Rancho Cucamonga Quakers.
