CLAYTON KERSHAW NEWS

Completes bullpen session Kershaw (forearm) threw a 20-pitch bullpen session Tuesday, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

Impact The veteran left-hander has been playing catch for the past week and resumed mound work Tuesday with an all-fastball bullpen session. Kershaw will play catch again Wednesday and is expected to throw another bullpen session later in the week that includes some breaking balls. The 33-year-old will need to keep ramping up his workload to have a chance of rejoining the big-league rotation before the end of the season.

Throws from 120 feet Kershaw (forearm) threw from 120 feet Saturday and may get back on the mound next week, David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports.

Impact Manager Dave Roberts said the veteran lefty was "letting it rip" with his 120-foot throws. Once he throws from the mound, Kershaw will progress to facing live hitters and ultimately a rehab assignment before rejoining the Dodgers. Early-to-mid September remains a realistic expectation for his return, although updates in the next week or so should add some clarity to his rehab timeline.

Extends throwing distance Kershaw (forearm) threw from 90 feet Thursday, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

Impact Thursday marked Kershaw's fourth consecutive day playing catch. He was slated to throw several days in a row to test the strength of his forearm. The Dodgers are hoping that Kershaw will be able to make a few starts in September to be stretched out for the playoffs, though it remains to be seen whether that is a realistic target.

Begins playing catch Kershaw played catch Monday and will continue to do so for a few days to see how his injured forearm responds, Juan Toribio of MLB.com reports.

Impact The left-hander's session of catch Monday was his first in several weeks. He threw a simulated game July 27 that resulted in general soreness and has been mostly shut down since. There has been some discussion about whether Kershaw will be able to get healthy in time to return as a starter, and how he feels over the next several days should go a long way toward determining that possibility. Manager Dave Roberts said Monday that the best-case scenario for Kershaw is that he makes a couple starts in September so that he is available to start in the playoffs, per Michael J. Duarte of NBC LA.
