Clayton Kershaw is at the point in his career where, despite all the success attained on the mound, there is still a glaring question of when it may be the last time he takes the mound for the Los Angeles Dodgers.
Ahead of his season debut on Saturday, Kershaw revealed that one of the major reasons that continues to drive this question is his recent injury history. He hadn’t pitched since Aug. 30 of last year before this past Saturday as he was recovering from offseason surgery for a ruptured plantar plate in his left big toe and a left knee meniscus surgery.
