Clayton Kershaw (back) showed his best velocity since getting injured during a bullpen session Tuesday. Kershaw threw 26 pitches, with Dodgers manager Don Mattingly standing in as an imaginary batter at one point. The left-hander said after the session that he was getting close, though he offered no potential timetable. More will be known about his potential return date once he's facing hitters.
