The future Hall of Famer is on the right track to return from injury this season.
is on the right track to making his return from injury this season. According to Los Angeles Times staff writer Mike DiGiovanna, Kershaw threw off the stadium mound to hitters on Saturday via Twitter/X.DiGiovanna provided an update on how he looked in his work off the mound and a timeline for his return.LHP Clayton Kershaw faced six hitters in an inning of live BP. Compared it to early stages of spring training. Will bump to two innings next time before working his way up to a rehab stint.
Saturday marked the first time since Kershaw faced live hitters after spending the past month throwing bullpen sessions. The expectation for Kershaw is that he will continue to build on his workload over several live BP sessions before heading out to the minors for his rehab assignment. If the time-time Cy Young winner doesn't suffer any setbacks on rehab assignments, he is expected to return in that four-to-six-week timeline.
Kershaw went under the knife for the first time at 35 years old to repair the capsule and glenohumeral ligaments in his left shoulder. The 36-year-old showed last year that he still has plenty in the tank, and now he could be back for the critical stretch as the Dodgers look to finish the job this time in 2024.
