It’s the weekend, which of course means you might be stuck with me for a Game Thread, and here I am!
Perfect time for a late one as well since we’re in a rain delay.

#Dodger MGR Dave Robert said utility man Chris Taylor, on IL because of a sore right knee, will not return until after the All-Star break.

#Dodgers MGR Dave Roberts said LHP Clayton Kershaw's throwing session was "just OK." Team will decide Sunday if Kershaw will start Monday, but it doesn't sound promising. If Kershaw is ruled out for Monday he will probably go on the IL with Michael Grove likely getting the start.

Clayton Kershaw on his throwing today: "It went fine. Still no decision yet but good progress. Still kind of on the wait-and-see."

Received an injection in his shoulder Thursday. #Dodgers will have to decide tomorrow if he can make his start Monday.
