Dodgers star Clayton Kershaw is expected to make his next scheduled start on Tuesday despite the death of his mother on Saturday.
Kershaw’s wife, Ellen Kershaw, announced the passing of the pitcher’s mother, Marianne Tombaugh, during a ceremony on Sunday, in which Kershaw’s foundation, Kershaw’s Challenge, dedicated a pair of refurbished baseball fields in Inglewood, Calif.
During Ellen’s address, she touched on how Tombaugh was always an avid supporter of Kershaw throughout his upbringing in baseball.
