RANCHO CUCAMONGA >> The final decision might not come for a day or two, after Clayton Kershaw has time to determine just how much 34 pitches to Single-A hitters affected his back.
But if he has any input, and if he feels as good as he did Saturday evening, his next appearance will be in a National League game.
“I think I’m pitching in four days, or five days,” Kershaw said after a one-hit, five-strikeout performance for the Rancho Cucamonga Quakes against the Modesto Nuts.
