It is only the second time in his career that he has undergone any surgery, as the 36-year-old left hander underwent a successful shoulder surgery last offseason.
Kershaw is once again a free agent, but expressed his willingness to remain a Dodger. Kershaw, who ranks first in Dodgers franchise history for strikeouts, sits just 32 strikeouts away from eclipsing 3,000 in his career.
Moving outside of free agency and injury related updates, former Dodger great Steve Garvey’s attempt at holding a position for Senator of California has failed, with Rep. Adam Schiff being elected to fill the vacancy left by Dianne Feinstein after her passing in 2023.
The Los Angeles Dodgers enjoyed the fruits of Shohei Ohtani’s first season with the team as his offensive output was historic at the plate and on the basepaths.
His efforts ultimately concluded with the Dodgers hoisting a World Series trophy after defeating the New York Yankees.
But in Game 2, he sustained a left shoulder injury while attempting to steal a base. That injury wound up being a tear to his left labrum, which was surgically repaired on Tuesday.
Another downside of this procedure is it pushed his timeline back in regard to his ongoing buildup with his current throwing program, and will keep him off a big league mound to open the year, via Ronald Blum of the Associated Press:
