Dodgers ace Clayton Kershaw tells the 'MLB on FOX' pregame show he's returning in 2025: 'I'm gonna come back next year and give it a go.'
Clayton Kershaw won't take the mound for the Los Angeles Dodgers again this year, regardless of how much further the team goes in the postseason. But he plans to return in 2025 and make the most of his surgically repaired shoulder, he told the MLB on FOX pregame show before Game 2 of the National League Championship Series. 'Mentally, I feel great,' Kershaw said in response to a question from David Ortiz.
Despite his absence from the playoffs, the Dodgers' pitching staff tied an MLB postseason record with 33 scoreless innings with Kershaw watching from the dugout every step of the way. That includes a dominant 9-0 win over the New York Mets in Game 1 of the NLCS on Sunday behind seven scoreless innings from Jack Flaherty, an L.A.-area native who grew up watching Kershaw. 'Just the collective effort, that's been the coolest thing to see,' Kershaw said. 'It's been everybody.
