A year after an elbow injury kept him out of the playoffs and put his future in doubt, the future Hall of Famer is primed for another run at the World Series.
LOS ANGELES — Clayton Kershaw should be used to his name being mentioned in the same sentence as Cy Young by now. After all, he’s won three of the awards named after the Hall of Famer from the turn of the last century.
A year ago Kershaw walked off the mound after a September start, taking the ball with him and leaving us wondering not only if he’d ever wear a Dodger uniform again but if his elbow would allow him to pitch again, period. He was unavailable for the 2021 postseason, and we’ll never know if his absence, or that of Max Muncy after hurting his elbow in Game 162, was the difference between an NLCS loss to Atlanta and a trip back to the World Series.
He does not take these opportunities for granted, nor should any of us. And when the Dodgers begin a best-of-five NL Division Series next week in The Ravine against either the New York Mets or the Padres, Kershaw will start either Game 1 or Game 2.a 6-1 victory over Colorado that was the Dodgers’ 111th win
That he’s here, preparing for his 11th postseason, should not be taken for granted. When he left his Aug. 4 start in San Francisco with what would be a recurrence of his back issues, there were certainly no guarantees. “And overall, you know, I’m thankful for another season. … I didn’t quite make it through this year. But I’m healthy at the right time this year, which is huge for me.”
