Clayton Kershaw was back on the Dodger Stadium mound Sunday - in a simulated game that was the next step in his recovery from a strained muscle in his upper back. You get that little extra adrenaline with hitters in there.'' Kershaw, who is on the disabled list for the first time in his seven-year career, threw 50 pitches from the windup and stretch, and reported no discomfort after topping out at 90 mph. ''Obviously, you can't simulate the adrenaline you have in a big league game, because that's where you get your extra velocity and stuff from. But as far as pitching at 10 a.m. in a sim game, that's all I've got,'' said Kershaw, who was monitored by manager Don Mattingly, pitching coach Rick Honeycutt and Stan Conte, the team's vice president of medical services.
