Clayton Kershaw is set to start his minor league rehab assignment with Class-A Rancho Cucamonga this week.
for Class-A Rancho Cucamonga on Wednesday, Mike DiGiovanna of the Los Angeles Times confirmed with a post on X on Friday.
That will be his first of many rehab appearances as he builds himself up to return to the Dodgers. He has thrown a few simulated innings at Dodger Stadium and in Rancho Cucamonga but he has yet to appear in a game. Kershaw underwent surgery this offseason to repair the glenohumeral ligaments and capsule in his left shoulder.
The Dodgers are cautiously optimistic about Kershaw's return and will handle him with extreme care. There is no need to rush him back until he is truly 100 percent healthy. His recovery is a process and the Dodgers will have a good gauge of where he is at after his first rehab appearance.Maren Angus-Coombs was born in Los Angeles and raised in Nashville, Tenn.
