LHP Clayton Kershaw (lower back strain) is scheduled to throw his first bullpen session Friday, manager Dave Roberts said, after 2 1/2 weeks on the disabled list. The next step will be a rehab start. "If you are not throwing innings, not sitting down and getting back up, you inherently lose a little of your stamina and endurance, so I'm going to have to simulate that at some point," Kershaw said. "Go through the whole bullpen, sim game, rehab at some point. But feel healthy right now, so that is good." Kershaw will need four or five starts before the end of the regular season to be ready for the playoffs, Roberts said.

"It just makes sense for us to be cautious. We don't want to put ourselves in any situation where there is a setback." Kershaw has been on the disabled list since July 24. "Clayton resists that, but I think that is best for us to err on the side of caution. No timetable." Kershaw would need four to five regular-season starts to prepare for the playoffs, Roberts said.

He is 15-2 with a 2.04 ERA in 21 starts this season.
