Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Clayton Kershaw threw three scoreless innings in his first rehab start for Triple-A Oklahoma City, aiming to recover from offseason surgeries on his toe and knee. The 37-year-old left-hander allowed two hits, struck out two, and walked none in the game against Tacoma. Kershaw has faced various health challenges in recent years and has not exceeded 132 innings in a season since 2019.
The three-time Cy Young Award winner, who missed the start of last season due to shoulder surgery, is scheduled to return from the injured list on May 17. Throughout his 17-year MLB career with the Dodgers, Kershaw has accumulated a 212-94 record with a 2.50 ERA and was named the NL MVP in 2014 for his exceptional performance.
