The Los Angeles Dodgers are set to welcome back Tony Gonsolin for his first start of the season this Wednesday. Meanwhile, Clayton Kershaw, who started the season on the injured list due to offseason surgeries, is also making strides towards his return. Following a successful rehab outing for Kershaw, he will throw five innings with a target of 75 pitches on Tuesday. If successful, he may pitch again shortly. His recovery appears ahead of schedule, suggesting a potential activation date as early as May 17.
"He is going to throw Tuesday. It'll be five innings, five and 75 (pitches), something like that. As I understand it, if it goes well, he'll probably go shorter on regular (rest) on Sunday and then we'll see from there. He's in a good spot." - Dodgers manager Dave Roberts.
"Kershaw moved his rehab assignment to pitching for the Drillers last week partly due to the Comets playing through chilly temperatures in Salt Lake City and there was a potential for inclement weather."
"The 37-year-old was generally pleased with the start of his rehab assignment and doubled his pitch count in the outing for the Drillers."
