CITY » Nate Robinson has played for seven teams, so

DENVER -- It might have been the most important two innings of the season when?Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Clayton Kershaw completed a simulated outing Tuesday at Dodger Stadium. It was his first time facing hitters in 45 days.Kershaw, who has been out since June 26 because of a back injury, is trying to get back to the Dodgers at some point in September, and Tuesdays outing was a major part of the process.It was a great step in his progression, said team president of baseball operations Andrew Friedman, who is with the club in Colorado. He felt great after, which is obviously everything he cared about. As we knew he would do, he said he was not as sharp as he wanted to be, but hes always going to say that. The most important thing is that he felt great, and we will assess tomorrow what the next steps are.Manager Dave Roberts suggested that in one scenario, Kershaw could be back with the Dodgers on the next homestand and could pitch a four-inning outing as he builds up his length. It seems more likely, though, that a minor league rehab outing would be next.My guess is that Kersh will want to pitch in a major league game tomorrow, Friedman said. With the time that hes missed, my guess is that the next step will be a minor league assignment. I think it will take a little bit of time to build him up in a way for him to be strong through September and hopefully October as well.Kershaw was hurtling toward a fourth Cy Young Award -- and a possible National League MVP award -- when his back sabotaged him after a start at Pittsburgh. He was diagnosed with a mild disk herniation at the time. He went through the initial rehab process, and on July 16, he tried to throw a simulated game, similar to Tuesdays, but had a setback that forced him to start his rehab all over again.The Dodgers are trying to be careful with Kershaws rehab process, knowing their staff ace will push himself as hard as he can to return. Friedman said Kershaw has a lot of input in the process.But you have to also balance that with the fact that hes as competitive a person as I have ever been around, and he wants to get out here and help this team in the worst way, Friedman said. Well have to balance the medical opinion with how he is doing and feeling and getting him back as soon as we can, but in the most responsible way possible.Kershaw was 11-2 after his first 16 starts and had a 1.79 ERA. Most incredible of all, he had 145 strikeouts and just nine walks in 121 innings and was pitching at a level beyond what he had shown before.?What he will be like when he returns remains to be seen. When he returns is also up in the air. Friedman was asked if its possible that Kershaw could have a second minor league start, in a playoff game, before he comes back.I dont know, Friedman said. All of this is speculative. We will see how hes doing tomorrow. But the most important thing is that he got through today feeling really good. Well kind of lay out the next steps tomorrow.
