Dodgers' Clayton Kershaw: Still not throwing

Kershaw (back) remains shut down from throwing, Ken Gurnick of MLB.com reports.

Analysis:

Manager Dave Roberts said last week that Kershaw would remain shut down until his back pain completely subsides. The Dodgers expect Kershaw to return this season, but a timetable probably won't take shape until Kershaw ramps up close to a rehab assignment. The starting pitching market is thin, but the Dodgers figure to push hard for a quality starter at the trade deadline with Kershaw on the shelf.
