He really struggled for J-ville last night, for really the first time, when he gave up five runs on five hits over 3 1/3 innings, getting no decision in an eventual 6-5 loss at Mobile. It was his first start back in the rotation after briefly going to the bullpen to help keep his innings down. Saturday’s fifth-starter assignment will almost certainly go to either Kuo or Park, with no chance of it going to Kershaw. Torre said, “To me, it’s doubtful.” I got a more definitive “no” from another source within the organization. Torre also pointed out that in the effort to have Kershaw throw no more than 170 innings this season, that has to be projected not through Labor Day, when the minor-league season ends, or through September, when the big-league season ends, but through October and the major-league postseason. “It would be unfair if we didn’t consider October as part of his innings.” That means they have to be even more conservative with him. So far this season, he has thrown 36 2/3. … btw, Saito is still unavailable. Torre said he feels better, but remains weak from his illness.
