Clayton Kershaw Slated to Return From DL Thursday Against Phillies

Dodgers ace Clayton Kershaw is scheduled to return to the rotation on Thursday at home against the Philadelphia Phillies. "I don't really have a number (of pitches), but I think he's fine to go deep (Thursday) depending on how he's throwing," manager Dave Roberts said. Kershaw pitched a four-inning simulated game at Dodger Stadium on Saturday and will take his place in the rotation without making a minor-league rehab start.
