Kershaw (shoulder) is expected to throw a bullpen session Tuesday, Matthew Moreno of DodgerBlue.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Dodgers announced Sunday that the southpaw's upcoming side session had been pushed back, and the team has since announced that he'll throw Tuesday instead. Kershaw will likely be re-evaluated following his upcoming bullpen to determine the next step in his rehab.

Manager Dave Roberts said Kershaw (shoulder) will no longer throw a bullpen session Monday, though the lefty hasn't suffered a setback, David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports.

EDGE Analysis

Kershaw was previously expected to pitch in a simulated game Monday before the plan changed to a bullpen session, and it's now been pushed back entirely. The veteran left-hander still played catch on flat ground ahead of Sunday's game at Texas, per the Associated Press, but it's unclear when he's expected to next take the mound.

Kershaw (shoulder) will throw an "up-down" bullpen session Monday rather than pitch in a simulated game, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Kershaw (shoulder) is scheduled to throw a three-inning simulated game Monday, Bill Plunkett of the Orange County Register reports.

EDGE Analysis

Kershaw threw a successful 40-pitch bullpen session before the Dodgers' series opener Friday against the Rangers and is now ready to take the next step in his recovery from the left shoulder inflammation that sent him to the IL in early July. He could return to the Los Angeles rotation sometime in early August if all continues to go smoothly.

Kershaw (shoulder) threw a bullpen session Tuesday in Baltimore, Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register reports.

EDGE Analysis

"All good," the veteran left-hander told Plunkett after the workout. There is no exact timetable yet for when Kershaw might be able to slot back into the Dodgers' starting rotation, but manager Dave Roberts has suggested that early August would be a reasonable target, per Jack Harris of the Los Angeles Times. Kershaw has been on the shelf since July 3 due to a bout of shoulder inflammation.

Kershaw (shoulder) said Sunday that he expects to throw a bullpen session early this week in Baltimore, David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports.

EDGE Analysis

Kershaw's ready to return to elevated ground after three straight days of throwing "full throttle" in the outfield in New York, per Vassegh. The future Hall of Famer's timeline remains vague, as doctors recently recommended more rest. Activation before the end of the Dodgers' current road trip seems iffy.

Kershaw said Friday that his left shoulder doesn't hurt when he throws, but Dr. Neal ElAttrache recommends more rest, David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports.

EDGE Analysis

Kershaw won't return this weekend, but he will throw a bullpen session next week in Baltimore, so in theory he could return next weekend in Texas if he gets cleared. It seems like Kershaw is ready to return, but he's trusting the doctors and playing things extremely safe. He has a 1.09 ERA, 0.88 WHIP, 30 strikeouts and four wins in 33 innings over his last five starts.

Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said Saturday he isn't sure if Kershaw (shoulder) will return during the team's series against the Mets after the All-Star break, Mike DiGiovanna of the Los Angeles Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Kershaw has been throwing off flat ground and threw a brief five-pitch bullpen session Friday. He previously expressed optimism about pitching after the All-Star break, but it now seems possible he might have to wait a little while longer. Kershaw has been on the injured list since Sunday with left shoulder inflammation.

Kershaw said Monday that his shoulder injury is "trending upward" and that he feels "confident" that he'll be ready to pitch after the All-Star break, per SportsNet LA.

EDGE Analysis

Kershaw also suggested that he'd have liked to skip just one start and make the next one, though he indicated an understanding of the Dodgers' decision to place him on the 15-day IL instead. The veteran southpaw described the shoulder inflammation that has sidelined him as "frustrating" and "disappointing" before explaining that he's feeling better and expressing optimism about a short recovery period. According to Jack Harris of the Los Angeles Times, Dodgers manager Dave Roberts also said Monday that he is "very confident" Kershaw will be ready to return when first eligible immediately following the break, so it appears likely that the future Hall of Fame hurler will end up missing just two starts.

Kershaw was placed on the 15-day injured list Monday with left shoulder inflammation, Juan Toribio of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Kershaw was spotted playing catch in the outfield prior to Monday's contest, and the team announced shortly after that the southpaw will indeed require a trip to the injured list. With this news confirmed, Michael Grove has been recalled from Triple-A Oklahoma City and will toe the rubber Monday night against the Pirates.
