Clayton Kershaw's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Clayton Kershaw tossed six scoreless innings against the St. Louis Cardinals on Sunday. The left-hander struck out two batters and allowed four hits in his six innings of work. The 36-year-old veteran is 2-1 this season in five starts with a 2.63 ERA and 1.25 WHIP. He has 19 strikeouts in 24 innings. This was a little bit of a vintage Kershaw performance and he has shown that there is still a bit of magic left in his left arm.

Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Clayton Kershaw was roughed up in his second start of the season on Wednesday against the hosting division-rival San Diego Padres at Petco Park, taking his first loss of the year after allowing three runs on six hits and one walk and failing to record a strikeout. After putting out six hitters via the K in his 2024 regular-season debut last Thursday against the San Francisco Giants, Kershaw stumbled a bit on Wednesday against San Diego and labored through 3 2/3 innings. Better days are ahead for the 36-year-old future Hall of Famer, who has begun the year by giving up five runs over 7 2/3 frames. With that said, fantasy managers should proceed with caution in Tuesday's start against the Philadelphia Phillies.

Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Clayton Kershaw went four innings in his season debut against the San Francisco Giants Thursday afternoon, fanning six in a no-decision. Kershaw scattered six hits and two runs and walked two while throwing 72 pitches. The veteran is a welcome addition to a starting rotation currently decimated by injuries. His next start should come next Wednesday against the San Diego Padres and Dylan Cease, who threw a no-hitter today.

Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Clayton Kershaw (shoulder) is set to make his 2024 season debut on Thursday as the Dodgers face their division rival San Francisco Giants, according to Noah Camras of Dodgers Nation. The three-time Cy Young winner underwent shoulder surgery in the offseason and has faced a few setbacks, which delayed his return. The Dodgers may opt to exercise caution with the 36-year-old and may have him on a pitch count in his first few starts. Last summer, the southpaw posted an excellent 2.46 ERA, 1.06 WHIP, and a 40:137 BB:K ratio across 131 innings. Kershaw should be added in all leagues as he should provide strong ratios throughout the second half and be in line to receive several wins pitching behind a strong Dodgers team.

Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Clayton Kershaw (shoulder) could join the big league rotation this week during the Dodgers' four game series against the San Francisco Giants that starts on Monday. Kershaw just completed a rehab start on Friday, allowing three runs in four innings, so if he were to go on five days rest then that would put him in position to start Thursday's game. Currently the Dodgers are slated to start Gavin Stone on Thursday afternoon but that could change with Kershaw's availability. The future hall-of-famer has been out all season recovering from shoulder surgery and will be a very welcome addition to a roster that has incurred many injuries in the 2024 season. Fantasy managers should get ready to get the lefty in their lineups as soon as he is activated, though he will likely be on a pitch count his first few starts. If he doesn't start during the Giants series, his next opportunity would be over the weekend where the Dodgers will travel to Houston and face the Astros.
