Scott Kazmir will rejoin the Dodgers’ starting rotation in the second week of September.

DENVER >> Dodgers pitcher Scott Kazmir, who threw a simulated game Tuesday at Dodger Stadium, will be activated from the disabled list within a day or two of his eligibility date Sept. 7, manager Dave Roberts said Wednesday.

Kazmir is battling discomfort in his neck and shoulder that impeded his delivery.

“To get two weeks of a break, I think, has really benefitted him,” Roberts said.

The veteran left-hander is 10-6 with a 4.59 earned-run average in 25 starts this season.
