Dustin May - Begins throwingMay (forearm) played catch Wednesday, Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register reports.
ImpactMay has been on the injured list since May 18 with a right forearm strain, and Wednesday marks the first time he's thrown since then. There is still no plan in place for May to return, but it is certainly a positive sign to see him throwing once again. The 25-year-old righty held a 2.63 ERA and 0.94 WHIP through 48 innings across nine starts before getting injured.

Clayton Kershaw - Expected to make next startDodgers manager Dave Roberts said Kershaw went through his usual post-start workout Wednesday and is expected to make his next start after requesting to be removed from Tuesday's w...
ImpactKershaw tossed a gem Tuesday, holding the Rockies hitless until there were two outs in the sixth inning and finishing with six scoreless frames. However, he asked to be removed after tossing just 79 pitches, later explaining that he "didn't feel great overall" and "just needed to come out right there," per Matthew Moreno of DodgerBlue.com. Kershaw also suggested that he expects to make his next start, and Roberts indicated support for that notion one day later, though he also suggested that he's not sure when that start may be. That could mean Kershaw is pushed back a day or two, though such a scenario is only speculation at this point.
