Kershaw (forearm) pitched an inning in a simulated game Monday, David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports.
Kershaw has missed nearly two months while battling forearm inflammation, but he's trending in the right direction and seemingly has time to return before the end of the year. He still has plenty of work to do to build up to a starter's workload, however, so he's likely multiple weeks away from being activated.
