Clayton Kershaw Doesn't Have Timetable Beyond "Summer"
10 months agoLos Angeles Dodgers left-hander Clayton Kershaw (shoulder) took his physical on Thursday and said he's in the second week of his throwing program after undergoing surgery on his left shoulder in November. He couldn't give a timetable for his return in 2024 beyond "summer" for when he hopes he can pitch. "July-ish, August-ish. Somewhere in there. I don't know," Kershaw said. The 35-year-old future Hall of Famer will miss the entire first half but should rejoin LA's starting rotation at some point in the second half. There's also an option for the 2025 season in his new deal, so Kershaw, Shohei Ohtani, Yoshinobu Yamamoto and Tyler Glasnow could all be in the team's rotation for the 2025 campaign. Kershaw was still a reliable arm for the Blue when he was healthy in 2023, but Father Time has taken a toll on him in recent years in the injury department.
