Clayton Kershaw, one of baseball's top pitchers, will wear an Oklahoma City Dodgers uniform this weekend.

The Los Angeles Dodgers left-hander, on the disabled list since May 31 with a back strain, will pitch Saturday in Omaha against the Royals' Triple-A affiliate, the team announced before Tuesday's game against the Chicago Cubs. 

Los Angeles manager Dave Roberts said Kershaw will be limited to four innings and 60 pitches.

The three-time Cy Young Award winner last pitched for Oklahoma City on Aug. 26, allowing one run in five innings of a rehab start.
