Clayton Kershaw Re-signs with Dodgers for 17th Season, Post-Surgery Return Expected Mid-2024

The Los Angeles Dodgers have successfully re-signed three-time Cy Young Award winner Clayton Kershaw, who is set to return to the mound after recovering from shoulder surgery.

Clayton Kershaw, the legendary Dodgers pitcher, has agreed to a new contract for his 17th season with the team, following a shoulder surgery.
The 35-year-old left-hander is anticipated to make his season debut sometime after the All-Star break, as he continues his recovery.
Kershaw's contract includes a player option for the 2025 season, offering him the opportunity to pitch alongside Shohei Ohtani.
Despite his surgery, Kershaw remains a key figure in the Dodgers' rotation, which has been significantly bolstered this offseason.
Kershaw is just 56 strikeouts away from joining the elite 3,000-strikeout club, a milestone he could reach upon his return.
