5/11/24	Dodgers News: Rehabbing Clayton Kershaw 'More Approachable'. Clayton Kershaw began the 2024 season, his 17th as a part of the Los Angeles Dodgers, on the 60-day injured list as he recovers from offseason shoulder surgery. Kershaw has been continuing his rehab process away from the Dodgers at his home in Texas, but he has been joining the team in Los Angeles during homestands. While not on the active roster, Kershaw can still be seen in the dugouts at Dodger Stadium chatting it up with his teammates while taking in the game. The change in demeanor is something that Dodgers manager Dave Roberts has taken note of during games. Source: https://dodgerblue.com/dodgers-news-rehabbing-clay...
5/08/24	Why Los Angeles Dodgers great Clayton Kershaw agreed to a new biography. When Los Angeles Dodgers ace Clayton Kershaw walked off the mound in Game One of the 2017 World Series, he had to be feeling good about his effort. Coming into that game, Kershaw had a 7-7 postseason record in his seven major league seasons, but against the Houston Astros that steamy night he'd given up just one run over seven innings while striking out 11 in a dominating win. A couple of years later, the Astros sign-stealing scandal would put Kershaw's rough outing in a different light, but the three-time Cy Young winner finds himself in one of the most confounding positions in sports history: He's an all-time top-shelf great — his 2.48 ERA is the best among all pitchers with at least 1,500 innings pitched since 1920, as are his 1.00 WHIP and .585 OPS allowed – who is also defined by a handful of playoff losses. Oddly, the highlights, like in 2016 when Kershaw pitched in relief to get his first career save and defeat the Nationals to go to the NLCS, are overlooked because they don't fit the narrative.
