    Kershaw’s pitches registered mostly 88 to 90 mph.

    He is expected to make a few more rehab starts before rejoining the Dodgers.

    The rotation has been rocked recently. Yoshinobu Yamamoto is out indefinitely after going on the injured list with a strained rotator cuff. Walker Buehler, who is coming off a second Tommy John surgery, joined him on the IL on Wednesday after taking a line drive to his right hip a day earlier at Colorado.

    Kershaw, 36, underwent surgery in November, a month after his disastrous start in Game 1 of the National League Division Series against the Arizona Diamondbacks in which he left having gotten just one out. The Dodgers were swept in the series.
