Kershaw and others could return soon for mending Dodgers (Yahoo Sports)

After Kershaw played catch Thursday at Dodger Stadium, manager Dave Roberts said the left-hander would throw a simulated game Saturday at home, along with fellow lefty Alex Wood. All of it is contingent upon how Clayton feels.
