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.
