LOS ANGELES (AP) — Clayton Kershaw says he plans to return to the Los Angeles Dodgers for his 18th season next year.
The three-time NL Cy Young Award winner isn’t pitching in the current playoffs because of a bone spur in his left big toe that sidelined him for the final month of the regular season.
The 36-year-old left-hander made just seven starts this year, going 2-2 with a 4.50 ERA — both career lows.
Last November, Kershaw had left shoulder surgery and the subsequent recovery kept him out of action until July 25. By Aug. 31, the 10-time All-Star was on the injured list with the toe injury.
