Tweet from @kengurnick: Kershaw will make a rehab start for OKC Saturday.

In addition to those three Cy Young trophies, Kershaw has been named a National League All-Star in each of the past seven seasons. He finished runner-up for the National League Cy Young Award last year after compiling an 18-4 record and 2.31 ERA (45 ER/175.0 IP), adding 202 strikeouts compared to just 30 walks. The lefty also faced the Storm Chasers last year in Oklahoma City on August 26, a game which Omaha won 4-0.

This season he has posted a 1-4 mark and 2.76 ERA (15 ER/49.0 IP), adding 53 strikeouts to 11 walks. He was placed on the Disabled List by the Dodgers on June 1 with lower back discomfort, and last pitched in a Major League game on May 31 versus Philadelphia.

On Saturday, the first 2,000 fans through the gates of Werner Park will receive a Rosenblatt Stadium Replica Giveaway thanks to Fairfield Inn & Suites Papillion. Gates will open at 6:00pm, with parking lots opening at 5:00pm.

Tickets for Saturday's game, in addition to all remaining 2018 Storm Chasers home dates are still available and can be purchased online.
