Clayton Kershaw, the three-time Cy Young Award winner, announced he has undergone foot and knee surgeries and is committed to rehabilitation with hopes of returning for an 18th season in 2025. The surgeries, performed by Dr. Kenneth Jung and Dr. Neal ElAttrache, followed a challenging 2024 season where Kershaw was limited to just seven games due to shoulder and foot injuries. He expressed gratitude for the surgeons' work on Instagram, stating his intention to 'crush some rehab' and return strong. Kershaw, who has spent his entire MLB career with the Los Angeles Dodgers, declined a $10 million option for 2025 but is expected to renegotiate an incentive-based deal with the team. His current status as a free agent provides the Dodgers with roster flexibility as they prepare for the offseason. Kershaw has expressed his dedication to the Dodgers, declaring himself a 'Dodger for life' at the recent World Series parade.
