Dodgers' Clayton Kershaw: Set for sim game

Kershaw (shoulder) will throw a multi-inning simulated game over the weekend, David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports.

Manager Dave Roberts indicated that the 35-year-old lefty will be added back into the rotation if his shoulder doesn't give him any issues after the sim game. No specific return date has been mentioned, but it's possible Kershaw is activated from the 15-day injured list during the Dodgers' upcoming series against San Diego next weekend. Kershaw holds a 2.55 ERA and 1.05 WHIP through 16 starts and has been on the IL since July 3.
