Clayton Kershaw Fantasy Stats

Los Angeles Dodgers left-hander Clayton Kershaw will be on the team's World Series roster, according to manager Dave Roberts. Kershaw, who has made just one relief appearance in the playoffs this year in the National League Division Series against the Philadelphia Phillies, will continue to be available out of the team's bullpen. The 37-year-old future first-ballot Hall of Famer didn't fare well in that one appearance, allowing five runs (four earned) on six hits (two homers) while walking three and striking out none in two innings of work. Kershaw already announced that this year will be the last of his Hall of Fame career. Although the three-time Cy Young winner and former MVP hasn't been a part of the team's postseason success this October, he was solid in his 23 outings (22 starts) for the Blue during the regular season, going 11-2 with a 3.36 ERA, 1.22 WHIP, and 84:35 K:BB in 112 2/3 innings.

Given the Los Angeles Dodgers' struggles out of the bullpen this year, left-hander Clayton Kershaw will pitch in a relief role in the National League Division Series against the Philadelphia Phillies, according to manager Dave Roberts. It's unclear exactly what role Kershaw will have coming out of the 'pen, but he will give L.A. some flexibility as either a bulk reliever or late-inning, high-leverage arm, depending on what they need that day. The 37-year-old future Hall of Famer already announced that he will hang up his cleats and retire following this season. His final start came in the regular-season finale against the Seattle Mariners, and he didn't disappoint, tossing 5 1/3 scoreless innings with seven strikeouts. The three-time Cy Young winner definitely isn't as dominant as he once was, but he still managed to win half of his 22 starts and post an ERA under 4.00 in his 18th and final big-league season.

Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Clayton Kershaw will not be available for the wild card series, reports David Vassegh of SportsNet LA. However, he would be available for the later series if the Dodgers advance. This makes sense, as Kershaw pitched on Sunday to close out the regular season, striking out seven over 5 1/3 shutout innings against the Mariners in what will be the last regular-season start of his 18-year career. There simply isn't enough room to fit him into their rotation plans for a three-game series, as Los Angeles is stacked with Blake Snell, Yoshinobu Yamamoto, Shohei Ohtani, and Tyler Glasnow.

The Los Angeles Dodgers announced on Thursday that left-hander Clayton Kershaw will retire as a player at the end of the 2025 season. The three-time National League Cy Young winner, 2014 NL MVP, and 11-time All-Star will make his final regular-season start at Dodger Stadium on Friday night against the division-rival San Francisco Giants. It's the end of an era. The 37-year-old former first-rounder in 2006 will be a first-ballot Hall of Famer when he's eligible after posting a 2.54 career ERA, 1.02 WHIP, 222 wins, and 3,039 strikeouts in 2,844 2/3 regular-season innings. Even at the tail end of his career, Kershaw has held his own in L.A.'s starting rotation this year, pitching to a 3.53 ERA and 1.22 WHIP with 71 strikeouts and 30 walks in 102 innings over 20 starts. His 2.54 career ERA leads all active players. Kershaw will be hoping to lead the Blue to a second straight World Series championship before walking off into the sunset.

Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Clayton Kershaw tossed six innings of one-run ball on Friday, earning his sixth victory of the year. The veteran scattered seven hits and walked one while striking out four batters. He's now 6-2 on the year with a sterling 3.14 ERA, although a 1.26 WHIP and 46 strikeouts in 71 2/3 innings are not very fantasy-friendly. The southpaw's next start lines up with San Diego at home next week on Friday, a team that is bottom-third this season in terms of batting average, ISO, wOBA, and wRC+ versus left-handed pitchers.

Los Angeles Dodgers left-hander Clayton Kershaw's 11th All-Star Game appearance, which could be his last, was a memorable one in Tuesday's Mid-Summer Classic. The 37-year-old, who was added to the National League team roster as a legend pick, relieved Paul Skenes and started the second inning. Kershaw faced his two batters mic'd up, getting a loud line-out from Cal Raleigh on a sliding Kyle Tucker catch and then freezing Vladimir Guerrero Jr. for a strikeout. He was then relieved by National League and Dodgers manager Dave Roberts, who let Kershaw keep the baseball. Kershaw may be near the end of his storied career, in which he has accumulated 216 wins with a 2.52 ERA, a 1.01 WHIP, a 27.2% strikeout rate, and 3,003 strikeouts. His numbers in 2025 don't quite reflect his career numbers, but he has still provided a serviceable 4-1 record with a 3.38 ERA, a 1.24 WHIP, and a 16.9% strikeout rate in 10 starts and 50 2/3 innings.

Los Angeles Dodgers left-hander Clayton Kershaw improved to 4-0 on Thursday in a 3-1 win over the Colorado Rockies. Kershaw spun six innings of one-run, two-hit ball with five strikeouts and one walk to collect the 216th victory of his career. The 37-year-old has been on a roll over his past four starts, having given up a total of four runs on 16 hits with 21:4 K:BB across 23 innings. As a result, his ERA has dropped to 3.03 with 29 strikeouts and 13 walks in 38 2/3 frames this season. The future Hall of Famer is now sitting on 2,997 strikeouts and is on the cusp of becoming the 20th member of the 3,000-K club. He should reach that milestone in an appealing home matchup against the Chicago White Sox on Wednesday.

Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Clayton Kershaw allowed six hits and one earned run over five innings in Sunday's 7-3 road win against the St. Louis Cardinals. The 37-year-old struck out seven and walked none to pick up his first win of 2025 (1-0). The lone blemish against him came in the bottom of the fifth inning when Cardinals' shortstop Masyn Winn doubled home teammate Alec Burleson. Kershaw came into this start with eight strikeouts over his first 15 2/3 innings, so it was nice to see him tally a season-high in that regard, inducing 12 swings-and-misses for a solid 33% CSW. He'll bring an inflated 4.35 ERA and 1.55 WHIP into his next outing, a meeting with the visiting San Francisco Giants later this week.

Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Clayton Kershaw (toe/knee) was officially activated off the 60-day injured list ahead of his season debut on Saturday evening against the Los Angeles Angels. The 37-year-old has been sidelined since August with toe and knee injuries. Through the early part of the campaign, the left-hander logged 21 innings of rehab work within the Dodger system. Across this stint, the future Hall of Famer held a strong 2.57 ERA with a stellar 0.81 WHIP. He struck out 16 batters and served up five free passes. Last season, Kershaw logged 30 innings in the big leagues and held a 4.50 ERA with a 1.150 WHIP. However, in 2023, Kershaw was quite effective, holding a 2.46 ERA with a 1.06 WHIP. He is a strong play in all formats this evening, facing the Angels.

Los Angeles Dodgers manager Dave Roberts reports that starting pitcher Clayton Kershaw (knee, toe) will make his season debut on Saturday at home against the Los Angeles Angels. The eighteen-year veteran has been stuck on the 60-day IL after undergoing offseason knee and toe surgeries. Kershaw pitched just 30 innings in 2024 while dealing with his toe and an elbow ailment, but has overall looked solid during his time in the minors thus far. It's highlighted by an overpowering six-inning showing in which he allowed no hits and struck out four (one walk). However, it's worth noting that was at the rookie level. He should be a nice aid to LA's rotation, and could be a sneaky boost for fantasy managers if he recaptures his form from 2023.
