Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Clayton Kershaw has announced his intention to return for his 18th season with the team next year. Kershaw, a three-time NL Cy Young Award winner, has been sidelined during the current playoffs due to a bone spur in his left big toe, which also kept him out of action for the final month of the regular season.
This year, the 36-year-old left-hander made only seven starts, posting career-low numbers with a 2-2 record and a 4.50 ERA. Kershaw underwent left shoulder surgery last November, causing him to miss the beginning of the season until late July. Unfortunately, he landed on the injured list again at the end of August due to the toe injury.
