Clayton Kershaw won't pitch again this season for the Los Angeles Dodgers
Clayton Kershaw, sidelined since late August with a toe injury, won't pitch again this season for the Los Angeles Dodgers. 'This is it for Clayton for 2024,' manager Dave Roberts said Saturday before Game 1 of the National League Division Series between the Dodgers and San Diego Padres. A 36-year-old left-hander, Kershaw is a three-time Cy Young Award winner and 10-time All-Star. He didn't pitch until July 25 after having offseason shoulder surgery.
Because of his toe, Kershaw couldn't pitch the way he wanted to and other areas of his body were overcompensating for it. He said he's been assured by doctors that he doesn't need surgery. 'It's something that takes time I guess, which is the worst thing because I'm not good at that,' Kershaw said last week. 'My arm, I'm keeping it going the best I can. I really think when my toe is better, I will be ready to pitch. I need to get close to 100% so I can throw.
