The historic rivalry between the Los Angeles Dodgers and San Francisco Giants will resume with added spice this week as three-time Cy Young Award-winning pitcher Clayton Kershaw is set to make his season debut when the teams wrap up a four-game series on Thursday.

Dodgers manager Dave Roberts made the announcement after Los Angeles’ 7–6, 11-inning victory over the Boston Red Sox on Saturday. Kershaw, 36, had surgery on his left, throwing shoulder in November to repair the gleno-humeral ligaments and capsule. He said at the time in a social-media post that he was “hopeful to return to play at some point next summer.”
