Clayton Kershaw will have to see the first round of the postseason 2024 Major League Baseball from the dugout due to the injury he suffered in the big toe of his left foot on August 30. This was confirmed by the manager of the Los Angeles Dodgers, Dave Roberts, when asked about the health status of the future Major League Hall of Famer.
“It won’t be viable for a couple of weeks”Roberts commented. The reality is that the future MLB Hall of Famer has been dealing with this pain for a long time, but in his last start he couldn’t take the pain anymore. Since then he has been wearing an orthopedic boot and throwing from the bullpen, but the prognosis is not promising for the start of the postseason.
