LOS ANGELES (AP) — Clayton Kershaw will make his season debut for the Los Angeles Dodgers on Saturday against the Los Angeles Angels.
The 37-year-old left-hander began his 18th season with the team on the injured list while recovering from toe and knee surgeries. His return comes at a critical time for the Dodgers, with starters Blake Snell and Tyler Glasnow on the injured list.
“It's a big shot in the arm,” manager Dave Roberts said Tuesday. “Clayton has worked really hard to get healthy and the bar is high for him. He doesn't want to just come back to be active.
