LOS ANGELES -- Despite the fact that Clayton Kershaw?threw a light bullpen session Sunday, the Los Angeles Dodgers staff ace will not be in the clubs rotation when the second half of the season kicks off next weekend at Arizona.Kershaw will be eligible to come off the 15-day disabled list Friday for the start of the second half, but Sundays 20-25 pitch bullpen session was the first time he threw from a mound since June 26 at Pittsburgh, so his return to action will have to wait. He played a light game of catch on flat ground last week.To see Clayton in a pen, throwing off a mound, is definitely encouraging, manager Dave Roberts said.Kershaw took the loss in his most recent start, giving up four runs and nine hits to the Pirates, the second-most he has allowed this season in each category. He did not reference an injury after the start, but he was treated for a lower back injury the following day.The Dodgers ultimately put their three-time Cy Young Award winner on the disabled list with a mild disc herniation. No timetable was given for his return.Roberts has lined up his second-half rotation without Kershaw in it the first time through the order. For the clubs three-game series at Arizona to open the second half, the Dodgers will pitch Bud Norris, Brandon McCarthy and Kenta Maeda, in that order. When the team travels to Washington, Scott Kazmir will open that series, followed by Hyun-Jin Ryu.The three right-handers to start, followed by the two left-handers, is a partial nod to matchups at Arizona and Washington.Yeah, there is a matchup component there, and there is also the rest, with the days off after we come out of the break and how that sets up, Roberts said. So there are a lot of variables that are baked in when we tried to make those decisions.Roberts was asked if it is possible that Kershaw could rejoin the rotation later in the trip, either at Washington or at St. Louis. The Dodgers embark on a nine-game, 10-day trip after the All-Star break.Im not sure, Roberts said. But Bud Norris will start the second half and then McCarthy, Kenta, Kaz and then Ryu. And everyone will stay in their turn. Bobo Wilson Jersey Store .

MLS Commissioner Don Garber and Miami-Dade County Mayor Carlos Gimenez also will attend the session, which was announced Monday.

ARLINGTON, Texas -- Jonathan Lucroy has certainly caught on quickly with his new team.The All-Star catcher drove in five runs with two homers to help the Texas Rangers beat the Detroit Tigers 8-5 on Friday night.Acquired from Milwaukee at the Aug. 1 trade deadline, Lucroy has six homers and 11 RBI in 11 games with Texas.For him to come in and make an immediate impact not only defensively, but offensively, is pretty special, Rangers manager Jeff Banister said.After a rain delay that lasted 2 hours, 42 minutes, Lucroy helped Yu Darvish (3-3) earn his first win since June 3.Darvish struck out five and allowed five hits and two earned runs in 6 2/3 innings. He is 6-0 against the Tigers in his career.The Rangers increased their AL West lead to 7 1/2 games. Detroit dropped 1 1/2 games back in the race for the leagues second wild card.Lucroy hit a three-run homer in the first inning and a two-run shot, his career-high 19th of the season, in the third. Both came against Anibal Sanchez (6-12).Mitch Moreland and Carlos Beltran also homered off Sanchez. He allowed a season-high eight runs in four-plus innings.This lineup is unbelievable, Lucroy said. Anyone can beat you on a given day.In four career starts at Texas, Sanchez is 1/3 with a 17.63 ERA.Sanchez just didnt have it tonight. They jumped on him early, Tigers manager Brad Ausmus said. (Lucroy) got a couple of pitches to hit and he handled them very well.Sam Dyson pitched a scoreless ninth for his 26th save in 29 opportunities.James McCann drove in three runs against Darvish with a second-inning double and a two-run homer in the seventh.Tyler Collins also hit a two-run homer in the seventh on the first pitch from Tony Barnette. He had not allowed a run in 17 1/3 innings.We did a nice job of coming back, Ausmus said, but it was just too much to overcome.Collins home run followed a line-drive double by Ian Kinsler that eluded left fielder Nomar Mazara.I went out and checked with (Darvish) to see where he was at, Banister said. He wanted Kinsler, so we gave him Kinsler. It looked like a catchable ball. We just got tturned around and didnt get a glove on it.ddddddddddddAdrian Beltre singled home Texas first run in the first inning. With two outs, Lucroy hit his first homer over the left-center field bullpen for a 4-0 lead. His second homer, also with two outs, went well up into the left-field seats.Beltran led off the fifth with a homer down the right-field line. It was his 24th of the season, and second in 10 games with the Rangers since a trade from the Yankees.HALL OF FAME COMPANYBeltres first-inning RBI was the 1,540th of his career. That put him in a tie for 45th place in major league history with Hall of Famers Harry Heilmann and Willie Stargell.HAPPY RETURNSDarvish was 0-3 in his first five starts after returning from the disabled list July 16, but he had pitched well. Since his return, he has a 2.72 ERA and 48 strikeouts with seven walks over 36 1/3 innings in five quality starts.MACHADO RECALLEDWith 3B Nick Castellanos and SS Jose Iglesias on the disabled list, the Tigers recalled SS Dixon Machado from Triple-A Toledo after the game.
