Dodgers southpaw Clayton Kershaw is nearing his return to the mound, according to club manager Dave Roberts. Kershaw, 30, was diagnosed with biceps tendinitis as the team closed out their Mexico Series at the start of the month. Prior to his injury, Kershaw was working on another dominant run with the club, sporting a 2.86 ERA, 2.0 BB/9 and 9.8 SO/9 through his first 44 innings of the season.
