Clayton Kershaw underwent foot and knee surgeries on Thursday and will begin rehabilitation with the intention of returning for an 18th season in 2025.
The surgery to his left foot was performed by Dr. Kenneth Jung, while noted surgeon Dr. Neal ElAttrache repaired the meniscus in his left knee.
\"Thank you Dr ElAttrache and Dr Jung for fixing them! Planning to crush some rehab and be good as can be come next year,\" Kershaw posted to Instagram. \"Thanks for all the prayers and support! World Series champs!\"
Kershaw, 36, was limited to seven games for the Los Angeles Dodgers in 2024 following left shoulder surgery in the offseason.
He made his season debut July 25 and pitched 30 innings before reporting damage to his toe, which turned out to be a ruptured plantar plate and arthritis in his left foot.
