Clayton Kershaw, the veteran pitcher for the Los Angeles Dodgers, announced on Instagram that he underwent surgeries on his left knee and foot, aiming for a return to the mound in 2025 following rehab. Kershaw, who made only seven starts in 2024 due to injuries, expressed gratitude for his doctors and optimism for his recovery, referring to himself as a 'Dodger for life'. Although he declined his player option for the 2025 season, he intends to negotiate a new deal with the Dodgers, having spent his entire career with the team. His surgeries addressed a meniscus tear in his knee and various issues in his foot, including a ruptured plantar plate and a bone spur. Despite his recent struggles, Kershaw holds a legendary status within the franchise, boasting a career record of 212-94 and nearing the milestone of 3,000 strikeouts. While there is no specific timeline for his recovery, Kershaw remains committed to returning to play for the Dodgers next season.
