Clayton Kershaw re-signed with the Los Angeles Dodgers earlier this offseason, agreeing to a one-year deal with a player option for 2025.
Kershaw will be sidelined to begin the season after undergoing surgery to repair the glenohumeral ligaments and capsule of his left shoulder on Nov. 2.
His timetable to return is still quite vague, but Kershaw said somewhere around July or August might be realistic.
\"The freedom of not trying to get ready for a full season is kind of nice,\" Kershaw said. \"It\'s just going to be a sprint when I get back. There\'s a little bit of comfort in that, honestly. You don\'t have to be ready April 1st. You can be ready whenever that is in the summer and kind of be ready to go.\"
