DENVER -- Dodgers ace Clayton Kershaw took a big step toward a return by throwing two solid innings during a simulated game Tuesday at Dodger Stadium.

The three-time NL Cy Young Award winner has been sidelined with a minor disk herniation in his lower back since late June.

Of course, Kershaw critiqued his performance afterward, telling team officials he wasn't as sharp as he wanted to be. Just Kershaw being Kershaw.

And yet another positive sign.
