Clayton Kershaw is ready to get back on the mound and begin his journey back to the Los Angeles Dodgers.
Kershaw is set to throw a simulated game during the middle of next week and, if there are no setbacks, the next step will be a rehab start in the minor leagues. If that goes well, Kershaw could be back on the major league roster in about two weeks.
Clayton Kershaw will throw a 3/4-inning simulated game Tuesday or Wednesday, then likely make a rehab start. He may be ready to be activated after that.

As long as nothing goes wrong, Kershaw should be back right around or perhaps a little earlier than initially anticipated. The Dodgers are 10-2 in June, so they haven’t been significantly hindered by his absence, and his return should only help them as they look to return to the top of the NL West.
