![]() ![]() Kershaw certainly isn't thinking that he has time to settle into a groove as he works his way toward 100 pitches. But the Dodgers will not be considered a menacing playoff threat unless Kershaw is on top of his game. The presence of an impressive Rich Hill seems to have settled the Dodgers' nerves when it comes to getting Kershaw back quickly. "It will be more than his last start," Roberts said. Asked if Kershaw will go 10-15 pitches more Wednesday, Roberts played it coy. Kershaw went just three innings on 66 pitches against the Miami Marlins to start the current road trip. My pitches weren't great, but I don't think that was because I was tired or anything, it just wasn't a good night." I was a little bit unfortunate that I couldn't go back out there for more innings. So while the Dodgers could have eased Kershaw back into the fold a little easier than the schedule they created, the route they have planned now shows that they believe their best pitcher is more than capable of handling the biggest possible test. And it makes the most sense for him to pitch against the toughest opponents." It's more of when he's ready to pitch and what gives the Dodgers the best chance to win.

Don't bet against the three-time Cy Young Award winner. Ready or not, the left-hander is pitching every five days again. With Wednesday comes Kershaw's second test in a major league game since his comeback began with his first start on baseball's main stage, better known as Yankee Stadium. A setback in June essentially made it two separate back injuries that Kershaw had to rehab and overcome. The only diagnosis given was a mild disk herniation, but it hardly seems to portray the struggle Kershaw went through. Kershaw missed 75 days this season with a lower back injury.
