He has been throwing on flat ground as part of his rehabilitation, but this marks the first time the lefty will return to pitching from a mound since he last pitched for the Dodgers on July 26.

There is no exact date for Kershaw's return, but this is certainly a step in the right direction.

Manager Dave Roberts still expects Kershaw to be able to pitch again sometime in September.
