Clayton Kershaw's rehab assignment with Triple-A Oklahoma City went exceptionally well, as he efficiently completed three innings on just 30 pitches. Initially scheduled for two innings, Kershaw exceeded expectations due to a low pitch count. He allowed only two hits, both singles, struck out two batters, and walked none. His fastball velocity peaked at 88.8 mph, aligning with his ongoing recovery protocol. Following the outing, Kershaw planned to continue bullpen work and make additional rehab starts, aiming to return to the Dodgers' rotation around June, contingent on his progress post-activation from the 60-day injured list.
Kershaw threw only five pitches in the first inning and was at just 15 after the second, allowing two singles but no walks and striking out two batters.
After completing three innings in his rehab start with Triple-A Oklahoma City, Kershaw's low pitch count allowed him to exceed the planned two-inning limit without any issues.
