Free-agent left-hander Clayton Kershaw announced that he underwent surgery on his throwing shoulder Friday morning, Nov. 3, and that he is “hopeful to return to play at some point next summer.”
Kershaw, who issued the statement on Instagram, has spent his entire 16-year career with the Los Angeles Dodgers, with his most recent one-year contract expiring after the 2023 season. He previously said he was uncertain about playing in 2024.
