Dodgers' Scott Kazmir: Cactus League return upcoming

Kazmir (hip) is expected to start in a Cactus League game in the near future, Eric Stephen of SB Nation reports.

Analysis:

The veteran pitcher has dealt with lower-body ailments during spring training and has seen his velocity dip in recent workouts. The fact that he's now able to pitch in a live Cactus League game is a great sign. Though he's unlikely to crack the Opening Day starting rotation, the 33-year-old will serve as a valuable depth piece heading into 2017.
