Los Angeles Dodgers icon and left-hander Clayton Kershaw (35) fired up his will to return to normal this summer.
U.S. Major League Baseball Dodgers spring camp held at Glendale Camelback Ranch in Arizona on the 9th to explain the rehabilitation process and return schedule.
"It was really hard to sign, but I'm excited to pitch again at Dodger Stadium," Kershaw said.
"I was committed to recovery for three months after the surgery, and it's been about two weeks since I started the pitching program," he said. "I will be able to return as early as July to August."
Regarding Shohei Ohtani, a "superstar," who joined the Dodgers, Kershaw said, "He is a smart player, so he will do well," adding, "It is good for other players in that attention is focused on Ohtani."
Kershaw became a free agent after the 2023 season and recently decided to sign with his former team, the Dodgers.
The Dodgers have yet to officially announce the details of the contract and the fact of the contract.
However, the AP said, "The Dodgers have prepared a place in the clubhouse with Kershaw's name on it." 토토사이트 순위
Kershaw is a franchise star who has played only in the Dodgers since 2008.
He was ranked No. 1 in ERA in the National League for four consecutive years from 2011 to 2014, and received three Cy Young Awards for the best pitcher during this period.
In 2014, he won the MVP award with 21 wins and 3 losses with a 1.77 ERA.
However, Kershaw has struggled with frequent injuries since 2019, and was placed on the operating table in November last year with injuries to his left shoulder upper ligament and joint sac.
