LOS ANGELES -- Reliever Tom Koehler suffered a setback in his recovery from a right anterior capsule sprain of the shoulder and an expected return was pushed back to August, Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said Sunday.
Koehler was nearing a rehab appearance when he threw a curveball this week and felt discomfort. He has been out since suffering what was originally termed a mild sprain in his first Spring Training appearance. Koehler was signed as a free agent to pick up innings made available by the free-agent departure of Brandon Morrow.
• Hyun-Jin Ryu had a Saturday bullpen session cut short at 20 pitches when he felt a little tightness in his strained groin, but Roberts would not call it a setback.
• Clayton Kershaw (lower back strain) threw on flat ground Sunday and still is expected to throw a simulated game Tuesday or Wednesday in Los Angeles.
