Clayton Kershaw's road back to the Los Angeles Dodgers' rotation began Wednesday afternoon in Oklahoma City.
Kershaw made his first rehabilitation appearance, starting for the Triple-A Oklahoma City Comets against the Tacoma Rainiers.
Pitching for the first time since Aug. 30, when he lasted just one inning for the Dodgers in Arizona, Kershaw tossed three scoreless innings while allowing two hits with no walks and two strikeouts. He allowed a single in both the first and third innings.
The Dodgers put Kershaw on the 60-day disabled list at the start of the season because of a left meniscus tear and a toe issue. He'll be eligible to return to the majors May 17.
Kershaw, 37, didn't pitch until July 25 last year after undergoing offseason shoulder surgery. In his seven starts, the left-hander went 2-2 with a 4.50 ERA and 1.500 WHIP.
For his career, all 17 years spent with the Dodgers, Kershaw owns a 212-94 record, 2.50 ERA and 1.010 WHIP.
The three-time Cy Young Award winner (2011, 2013, 2014) and 2014 NL MVP has the highest WAR (76.5), position players included, and best WHIP among starting pitchers in franchise history.
