The Dodgers were hoping to get some good news on Clayton Kershaw this week. The veteran southpaw was scheduled to throw a simulated game on Sunday afternoon to prepare for an activation next week in Anaheim. That did not happen.
Instead, Dave Roberts revealed that Kershaw was dealing with some lingering soreness. That led the Dodgers to bump back his simulated game which would presumably also bump back his Saturday start.
Ahead of Sunday’s game, Doc revealed that they still did not know when Kershaw would throw. That is a bit of a concern even with Max Scherzer added into the starting rotation this week.
