Kershaw back to the rotation, call-up soon?

Just five days after Dodgers SP prospect Clayton Kershaw was temporarily moved to the bullpen to limit his workload, the Jacksonville Suns star moved back to the rotation last night. Unfortunately, Kershaw wasn't as sharp in his start against Mobile last night (3.1 IP, 5 ER, 3 K) as he had been previously. Still we find it interesting that Kershaw was back in the starting rotation exactly five days before the Dodgers will need a 5th starter. If you recall, we reported last week that May 17 is the target date for Kershaw's call-up. If this last clunker of a start didn't scare away the Dodgers brass, Kershaw could be in line for a call-up soon.
