Kershaw, who turns 37 in March, had foot and knee surgeries in November after he was limited to just seven games last season.
He made his season debut July 25 and pitched 30 innings before reporting damage to his toe, which turned out to be a ruptured plantar plate and arthritis in his left foot.
The 2014 NL MVP didn’t pitch in the postseason. He has been a mainstay in the Dodgers’ rotation, spending his entire MLB career in Los Angeles, and is just 32 strikeouts shy of reaching 3,000 for his career.
Kershaw pitched on one-year contracts in 2022 and 2023 before signing an incentive-laden $5 million deal for 2024 that included a 2025 option for $10 million, which he declined. With incentives, he earned $7.5 million in 2024.
