“Faster than expected”

MLB.COM said on the 14th (Korea Standard Time), “Kershaw played three simulation games at Dodger Stadium on the 14th. Cavan Biggio, Chris Taylor, and Miguel Rojas were at the plate. Kershaw is continuing the process of returning.”

“If we are in good physical condition after this simulation game, we will start our minor rehabilitation appearance in the lower single A Rancho Cucamonga,” he added.

“It’s faster than expected. Kershaw is a special player both physically and mentally. Not to mention his sincerity. Dr. Neal Elatrache (in charge of the surgery) did an incredible job. It is definitely more than I expected,” Roberts said.

Kershaw is the same player as the Dodgers’ symbol. He was drafted by the Dodgers with the seventh overall pick in the first round in the 2006 rookie draft. Since his debut in the big league in 2008, he has posted a total of 2,712.2 innings, 210 wins, 92 losses, 2944 strikeouts and a 2.48 ERA in 425 games through 2023. 동행복권파워볼

He has also won three Cy Young Awards, one MVP, 10 All-Star Awards, and one Gold Glove. He ranked within the top five in the Cy Young Award only seven times. Korean Monster Ryu Hyun-jin showed excellent performance in the Dodgers, but even then, Ace Kershaw was an insurmountable barrier.

As I got older, I suffered from injuries. In particular, my back continued to be bad. The last season of the regulation was in 2019 (178.1 innings). Since then, I have played 120 to 130 innings.

Still, he will keep 10 wins. He posted 10 wins, 12 wins and 13 wins between 2021 and 2023. He also posted a good ERA of 3.55-2.28-2.46. However, he suffered a shoulder injury in July last year. He is now at a crossroads for his retirement.

Kershaw chose to extend his playing career. He underwent shoulder surgery. The Dodgers also decided to wait. Kershaw, who became a free agent, was given a one-year contract of 5 million dollars. He added a 5 million dollar option for 2025. If he returns to the 2024 season and throws good pitching, his annual salary will rise to 20 million dollars in 2025.

He is about to return. He is close to playing in a real game. He is expected to return in the second half of the year after completing his minor rehabilitation. The Dodgers also do not think in a hurry. Of course, it will help if Kershaw comes. The pace of rehabilitation is already on the fast side.

However, his shoulders are sensitive. He needs to make a full recovery. The Major League All-Star Game is July 17 this year. He still has more than a month to go before he returns. In the meantime, he needs to take good care of himself and come back.
