Clayton Kershaw Set to Rejoin Dodgers for 18th Season

The future Hall of Famer has agreed to a new deal with Los Angeles despite ongoing recovery from multiple surgeries.

Clayton Kershaw, a three-time Cy Young winner, has agreed to re-sign with the Dodgers pending a physical, continuing his 17-year career with the team.
Kershaw underwent surgeries on his left foot and knee following the Dodgers' 2024 World Series win and is expected to start the season on the 60-day injured list.
The 36-year-old left-hander is not anticipated to pitch until at least late May, marking another delayed start due to injuries in recent seasons.
Despite his health struggles, Kershaw remains a highly effective pitcher when available, with a 2.84 ERA over 31 starts in the past two seasons.
Kershaw is just 32 strikeouts away from reaching 3,000 career strikeouts, a milestone achieved by only 19 other pitchers in MLB history.
