Fantasy Impact

Kershaw is aiming a return in July or August as he continues to recover from shoulder surgery.

Clayton Kershaw didn't have a firm timeline on his return from shoulder surgery, but said he is targeting "July-ish, August-ish."

Fantasy Impact

Kershaw is still recovering from offseason shoulder surgery to repair the capsule and gleno-humeral ligaments. His deal with the Dodgers included a player option for the 2025 season as he targets a return following the All-Star break.

The Los Angeles Dodgers have officially brought back Clayton Kershaw for a 17th season.

Fantasy Impact

It had become increasingly likely the Dodgers would bring back their future Hall of Famer and they indeed have. Kershaw worked to a dynamite 2.46 ERA across 24 starts with the club in 2023, a figure almost identical to his career 2.48 ERA across 425 big-league outings. However, Kershaw has dealt with various injuries in recent seasons and will miss the first half of 2024 after undergoing shoulder surgery in early November.

There is a growing belief in the industry that long-time Dodgers great Clayton Kershaw will return to the Dodgers in 2024.

Fantasy Impact

A free agent, Kershaw will likely be unavailable until sometime in the middle of the season after undergoing shoulder surgery in early November. The left-hander dominated to the tune of a 2.46 ERA in his 16th season with the Dodgers in 2023 and owns a nearly identical 2.48 ERA across 425 career appearances, all with Los Angeles.
