6 years agoGoing into 2018 Clayton Kershaw was considered the best pitcher in baseball by most, but another year of injury woes and a stark velocity drop have cast legitimate concern over Kershaw’s value. He still performed well on a surface level in 2018, posting a 2.73 ERA and 9-5 record, but by Kershaw-standards it was a disappointing season. He had his lowest strikeout rate (23.9%) since his rookie season, his worst K/BB ratio (5.34) since 2013, and his fastball velocity fell to a career-low 90.9 MPH. Kershaw could certainly experience a rebound if fully healthy, but he has spent time on the disabled list in each of the last three seasons and will be 31 by opening day 2019. Those injury risks along with diminished performance should be baked into his draft cost, making Kershaw fall outside the top-25 overall players for the first time in years. He is still an SP1, but no longer a top-three starter.--Elliott Baas - RotoBaller

2 weeks agoLos Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Clayton Kershaw (toe) was transferred from the 15-day injured list to the 60-day IL on Tuesday, per the Athletic's Fabian Ardaya. The 37-year-old veteran was placed on the 15-day IL Monday as he recovers from toe surgery, which was expected to need a lengthier timeline. Kershaw's skills when on the mound are still relevant for fantasy, but the back of his career has been plagued with injuries, and he managed just 30 innings pitched in 2024. The Dodgers have one of baseball's deepest rosters, so they do not need to rush Kershaw back. At this point in his career, the former fantasy ace can likely be left in the player pool of shallower drafts and could be a potential IL stash in very deep leagues.--Connelly Doan - RotoBaller

3 weeks agoLos Angeles Dodgers pitchers Clayton Kershaw (toe), Tony Gonsolin (back), and Michael Kopech (shoulder) were all placed on the 15-day injured list on Monday night. These were part of a flourish of roster moves the Dodgers made prior to their opening game in Tokyo, Japan. None of these moves came as a surprise, as these injuries have been known for a while. Kershaw is expected to require an extended absence as he recovers from toe surgery, but Gonsolin and Kopech figure to be in the mix much sooner. Kopech is an arm the Dodgers will definitely be eager to get back after he posted a 1.13 ERA and 0.79 WHIP in 24 innings after being dealt to them last season from the Chicago White Sox.--Jeremy Heist - RotoBaller

4 weeks agoLos Angeles Dodgers left-hander Clayton Kershaw (foot, knee) said he's progressing well in his recovery from surgeries on his foot and knee and has thrown off a mound "a couple times." "It's not 100 percent yet but it's getting there. Feels good," Kershaw said. The 36-year-old future Hall of Famer had both of his surgeries in November of last year. As a result, he's unlikely to pitch in any Cactus League games in spring training and is expected to open the 2025 season on the 60-day injured list, which means he won't be able to make his season debut until late May. In what is expected to be the final season of Kershaw's storied career, he obviously won't have much fantasy appeal because of the fact that he'll miss around the first two months of the season. The three-time Cy Young winner and former MVP didn't make his debut last year until late July and held a 4.50 ERA and 1.50 WHIP in only seven starts.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller

2 months agoLos Angeles Dodgers left-hander Clayton Kershaw (knee, toe) said he expects to open the 2025 regular season on the 60-day injured list, but his timetable will likely line up for him to be ready to roll once the 60 days are up. Kershaw recently re-signed with the Blue on a one-year, $7.5 million deal that will likely be his final season before retirement. The 36-year-old future Hall of Famer had surgeries on both his knee and toe in the offseason and remains in recovery with spring training kicking off this week. He's been throwing on flat ground, but it remains to be seen when he'll throw off a mound, and the Dodgers have no reason to rush him along. The three-time Cy Young winner and former MVP had a 4.50 ERA and 1.50 WHIP with 24 K's and nine walks in his seven starts in 2024 and is no longer a must-roster player in fantasy leagues due to the injuries that have mounted in recent years.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller
