Clayton Kershaw NEWS
Dodgers Officially Re-Sign Clayton Kershaw Monday
The Los Angeles Dodgers and starting pitcher Clayton Kershaw agreed to a one-year, $20 million dollar contract on Monday, per the team's Twitter account. The future Hall of Famer has spent all 15 seasons of his career with the Dodgers and will stick with them for his age-35 season. Kershaw was sharp as always when he did pitch in 2022, going 12-3 with a 2.28 ERA, 0.94 WHIP, and 27.8% strikeout rate in 22 starts and 126 1/3 innings pitched. However, injuries have prevented him from making at least 30 starts since 2015, which has put a relative damper on his overall fantasy value. Kershaw remains one of baseball's top starters on a start-by-start basis, which means he still offers high fantasy value even if he only makes 20-25 starts.
Dec 6, 2022 • 5:39 AM | RotoBallerDodgers, Clayton Kershaw Agree On Reunion
The Los Angeles Dodgers and left-hander Clayton Kershaw are in agreement on a one-year deal thought to be worth close to $20 million for the 2023 season. The Athletic's Ken Rosenthal reported Thursday night that the two sides were close to a reunion, and now it appears to be official. The future Hall of Famer had a strong 2.28 ERA with 137 strikeouts in 126 1/3 innings pitched in the regular season after signing a one-year, $17 million deal before the 2022 season. The 34-year-old southpaw missed time with back and pelvis injuries, and although he continues to pitch well when healthy, fantasy managers can't ignore his lengthy injury history in recent seasons when considering drafting him next spring. Kershaw hasn't made 30 starts since 2015, and he hasn't reached 130 innings in either of the last two years.
Nov 11, 2022 • 6:19 PM | RotoBallerDodgers Nearing One-Year Deal With Clayton Kershaw
The Los Angeles Dodgers and starting pitcher Clayton Kershaw are nearing a one-year deal, according to a source. It comes after the team declined to give Kershaw the $19.65 million qualifying offer. The 34-year-old will return to the Dodgers for a 16th season in 2023. The future Hall of Fame left-hander went 12-3 with a strong 2.28 ERA (2.57 FIP), a 0.94 WHIP, 137 strikeouts and only 23 walks in 126 1/3 innings over his 22 starts. Injuries have been an issue for the nine-time All-Star in recent years and he hasn't topped 200 innings in a single season since 2015, but Kershaw has still been very solid for the Dodgers and fantasy managers when he's been healthy.
Nov 11, 2022 • 2:36 AM | RotoBallerClayton Kershaw To Start NLDS Game 2 Against Padres
Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Clayton Kershaw is slated to start Wednesday's Game 2 of the National League Division Series against the Padres. Yu Darvish will oppose him. The 34-year-old veteran was excellent once again this regular season, compiling a 12-3 record with a 2.28 ERA, 0.94 WHIP and 27.8% strikeout rate in 22 starts. He only faced the Padres twice this season, but posted a stellar 0.75 ERA over 12 innings pitched. One narrative that may follow Kershaw is his relatively weaker career playoff numbers, as he has a pedestrian 4.19 ERA over 189 career postseason innings. The other may be his health, as he has missed time with back injuries over the past several seasons. Despite this, Kershaw has the potential to help the Dodgers make a deep playoff push.
Oct 11, 2022 • 4:27 AM | RotoBallerClayton Kershaw To Return On Thursday
Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Clayton Kershaw (back) will return to the starting rotation on Thursday, according to manager Dave Roberts. The veteran left-hander was able to throw a successful 70-pitch simulated game over the weekend. He has been dealing with lower back pain, but appears ready to return against the New York Mets on Thursday. Before going down, Kershaw was posting a 2.64 ERA, 0.98 WHIP, and 88/15 K/BB ratio in 15 starts this season. Fantasy managers are certainly going to be happy to get Kershaw back this week.
Aug 30, 2022 • 10:20 PM | RotoBallerDodgers To Use Six-Man Rotation When Clayton Kershaw Returns
Los Angeles Dodgers skipper Dave Roberts said that the team will go with a six-man starting rotation for "a couple weeks at the bare minimum" once left-hander Clayton Kershaw (back) returns from the injured list in order to keep guys stretched out down the stretch. Kershaw has been sidelined since early August with lower-back pain, but he could return as early as the end of next week after throwing a 70-pitch simulated game on Saturday. The Dodgers most definitely want the 34-year-old to be healthy for a lengthy playoff run, so they won't rush him back too soon, especially since he's had back problems in the past. When he returns, he'll come back to a 7-3 record, 2.64 ERA, 0.98 WHIP, 88 strikeouts and only 15 walks in 85 1/3 innings pitched over 15 starts.
Aug 28, 2022 • 6:12 PM | RotoBallerClayton Kershaw Throws Simulated Game On Saturday
Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Clayton Kershaw (back) threw 70 pitches during a simulated game Saturday. He said his back "feels good" and is on track to return to the rotation Thursday or Friday next week. The southpaw had been sidelined since August 4 due to a lower back injury. He owns a 2.64 ERA, 0.98 WHIP, and an 88:15 K: BB across 85 1/3 innings in 2022. Kershaw will likely be on a pitch count in his first start back. Fantasy managers should continue to stash Kershaw in all league formats for this season's stretch run.
Aug 28, 2022 • 1:58 AM | RotoBallerClayton Kershaw Throws Simulated Game Monday
Los Angeles Dodgers left-hander Clayton Kershaw (back) threw three simulated innings at Dodger Stadium ahead of Monday night's game against the Milwaukee Brewers. Kershaw has been sidelined since early August with a back injury and recently declined to go on a rehab assignment, so he will instead throw another simulated game on Saturday to shake off the rust. If Saturday's session goes smoothly, Kershaw could rejoin the rotation soon after.
Aug 23, 2022 • 1:35 AM | RotoBallerClayton Kershaw Won't Need Rehab Assignment
Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Clayton Kershaw (back) is not expected to be required to do a minor league rehab assignment. The plan is for the left-hander to throw a bullpen session on Monday. After that, Kershaw will pitch a simulated game later in the week before rejoining the Dodgers rotation. It sounds like there is a good chance of Kershaw returning to the starting rotation before the end of the month. The 34-year-old has not made a start since August 4th, but could be back soon.
Aug 21, 2022 • 8:31 PM | RotoBallerClayton Kershaw Throws Bullpen Friday
Los Angeles Dodgers left-hander Clayton Kershaw (back) threw a 30-pitch bullpen session on Friday. Kershaw emerged from the session without any issues as he works his way back from a back injury. The 34-year-old veteran has not made a start since August 4 and has only taken the mound 15 times due to assorted injuries in 2022. Kershaw's next step in his rehab will be a minor league assignment if he is willing. Look for Kershaw to be back in the LA rotation at some point in September.
