Dodgers’ Kuroda steps up workouts

Ten days after taking a line drive off his head, disabled pitcher Hiroki Kuroda on Tuesday had his most strenuous workout since the injury and is scheduled for his first full bullpen session Wednesday.

Kuroda, reporting that post-concussion syndrome symptoms of headaches and dizziness were diminishing, sprinted with fellow pitchers, shagged fly balls in the outfield and went through the pitching motion on the bullpen mound while holding a towel instead of a ball.

On Sunday, Kuroda played light catch off the Dodger Stadium bullpen mound. On Monday, before the team left for Colorado, he was examined by neurologists in Los Angeles and cleared to step up his rehabilitation from the frightening incident at Chase Field, when the D-backs’ Rusty Ryal turned around a 94-mph fastball and drilled Kuroda on the right side of his head.
