KERSHAW RETURNS

Dodgers ace Clayton Kershaw (11-2, 1.79) will return from the disabled list to face Jose Fernandez (13-8, 3.30) and the Marlins. It will be Kershaw’s first start since June 26 because of a mild disk herniation. Despite missing over two months, he still ranked second among major league pitchers in wins above replacement entering Thursday, per Fangraphs , trailing the Mets’ Noah Syndergaard and just ahead of Fernandez.

FIRST TO 20?
