"The left-hander is set to make his final regular-season start against the Seattle Mariners on Sunday before the Dodgers head into the playoffs. Kershaw has been effective this season but likely won't have a starting role in the postseason due to the Dodgers' surplus of options. The left-hander, like Emmet Sheehan and potentially Roki Sasaki, could contribute out of the bullpen when the Dodgers begin postseason play."
""He's definitely a realistic option," Roberts said of Kershaw possibly moving to the bullpen. "[Wednesday] is probably the last day he'll be a viable option, given his start on Sunday. "[Wednesday] he'll be available in the 'pen and he's open to whatever we need." Kershaw was in the bullpen when the Dodgers began a three-game series with the Arizona Diamondbacks on Tuesday."
Clayton Kershaw is entering the final stretch of his career and plans to retire at the end of the 2025 season. He is scheduled to make his final regular-season start against the Seattle Mariners on Sunday before the Dodgers enter the playoffs. Kershaw has been effective this season but likely will not start in the postseason because the Dodgers possess many rotation options. Kershaw could still contribute from the bullpen, following limited relief experience, and manager Dave Roberts indicated Kershaw is available and that any bullpen role is still to be determined.
