Clayton Kershaw will throw 45 to 50 pitches in his first start of the spring, which will be against the Chicago White Sox at Camelback Ranch on Monday.

All of the projected starting-position players will be taking the day off after playing on Sunday.

No other real news out of Phoenix, except for the fact that Jay Gibbons is out for another day with the flu. Manager Don Mattingly said Gibbons is hoping to work out on Tuesday and play in a game the following day as a designated hitter.

Today’s lineup:

Gwynn RF
Miles 4
Navarro 2
Paul DH
Robinson CF
Kapler LF
Mitchell 1B
Castro 3B
Sellers SS
Kershaw LHP
