Clayton Kershaw returned to the Dodgers in May after recovering from knee and foot surgeries. His first game was challenging, yielding five runs against the Angels. A slight improvement followed against the Mets before a rain delay. However, he excelled against the Guardians, allowing only one run in five innings. While Kershaw showed a decrease in fastball velocity, Dodgers manager Dave Roberts acknowledged his potential, noting Kershaw's ongoing adjustments and command issues as he seeks to refine his game in his 18th season.
"I think it's gotten better each time," Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said of Kershaw. "I think to just expect him to be dialed in is unfair... the stuff has been good."
Kershaw has had to reinvent himself over the last few years due to a drop in fastball velocity, but... will remain effective in his 18th season with the Dodgers.
