Clayton Kershaw took another step forward in his comeback from left shoulder surgery, throwing three innings in his first rehab start.
The left-hander allowed one run and two hits, struck out five and walked one on a pitch clock violation at Class A Rancho Cucamonga on Wednesday night.
\"I checked all the boxes,\" Kershaw said. \"It was fun to get back out there. As long as everything comes out fine, I think I\'m on for the next one. Stuff\'s OK. It\'s getting better, so hopeful that over time you start working more on pitching and less about health and get ready to go.\"
Kershaw\'s pitches registered mostly 88 to 90 mph.
He is expected to make a few more rehab starts before rejoining the Los Angeles Dodgers.
