Clayton Kershaw Sidelined for Dodgers' 2024 Postseason Due to Toe Injury

The Dodgers' veteran pitcher will miss the playoffs as his toe injury worsens, leaving his future uncertain.

Clayton Kershaw, 36, has been ruled out for the entire 2024 postseason after a bone spur in his left big toe failed to heal.
Despite efforts to continue pitching, Kershaw's condition deteriorated, leading to his exclusion from the Dodgers' playoff roster.
The Dodgers will rely on pitchers Yoshinobu Yamamoto, Jack Flaherty, Walker Buehler, and Landon Knack for the National League Division Series against the Padres.
Manager Dave Roberts confirmed Kershaw's season-ending status, highlighting the veteran's physical struggles and potential need for offseason surgery.
Kershaw's future with the Dodgers remains uncertain as he considers whether to exercise his 2025 player option or contemplate retirement.
