Clayton Kershaw won't pitch again this season due to a big toe injury, manager Dave Roberts says.
Pitchers Clayton Kershaw and Joe Kelly were left off the Los Angeles Dodgers ' roster for their NL Division Series against the San Diego Padres that started Saturday.
“We're closing the door," Roberts said. “Clayton has done everything he can to keep this thing moving forward and giving himself a chance to participate in the postseason. But where he’s at right now, physically, the foot, the toe just is not cooperating. It’s actually getting worse. Yeah, this is it for Clayton for 2024.”
“Joe Kelly, his last pitch in a simulated game, throwing a change-up, he felt something in his shoulder, so that kind of put him out of the conversation,” Roberts said.
