This is called “Kershaw Day” in Los Angeles, and the season will be released on Saturday when Dodgers hosted Los Angeles Angels in the middle match of three -game series.
Left -hand -handed Clayton Kershaw, who was rescued from offseason surgeries on the left foot and left knee, will take the mound for the first time this season. Kershaw was limited to only seven beginnings last season, and the injuries prevented him from joining the end of the season.
While retirement has been on the table for several years, Kershaw said he did not want his career worthy of the Honor List to end with a disability. So he returned to a 37 -year -old contract and as a franchise leader in strikes in 2.968.
When he threw his first field on Saturday, Kershaw will start the 18th largest league season and connect Zach Wheat and Bill Russell for a franchise record.
“I thought of a lot on Saturday. I thought of going back there.” He said. “… For me, just to go back to the mound is a big first step and then the rest of the season, obviously. But only to do it until Saturday and go back there is what I think so far.”
There is a reason to confront the angels, a reason to be confident, 10-2 records and 1,99 ERA in 16 careers start against them.
Kershaw made five rehabilitation in small leagues and finished 1-0 with 2,57 ERA in 21 Inning.
“I design a shot in the arm of emotion, intensity,” Davegers manager Dave Roberts. He said. “I believe in a player like Clayton, the registry, the level of performance, the intensity of a top club, and this is what I expect tomorrow.”
Angels left-handed Tyler Anderson (2-1, 2.58 ERA) will have the chance to comply with the field of Kershaw. Kershaw and Anderson were teammates in Dodgers, where both jugs were All-Stars in 2022.
When Anderson gave up three runs in five Innings in 7-3 games, he sucked the first loss of the season against Baltimore Orioles on Sunday, but only one of the runs was won after a mistake of the third master Yoan Moncada.
“I feel at a better point in terms of command only in terms of command in terms of command.” He said. “I often try to make better fields and feel more comfortable than I think it has been only in the last few years.”
Anderson, in 16 matches against Dodgers life (15 beginning) with 4.65 ERA 3-7.
After not in the start series in three of the previous four matches, Luis Renkfo became the striker who was appointed on Friday and hit Angels’ 6-2 victory in the first two bats.
Last season, a wrist injury and a hamstring injury in spring education slowed late veterans. After hitting .300 in 78 games last season.
“This year he will find somewhere this year, because he has a skill set.” He said. “… He landed (for a bad start). You must fight to catch. We just hope you can catch up.”
Moncada, Zach Neto and Nolan Schahanuel continued in two runs on Friday, Moncada’s RBIs became a two -stage host in the first shot.
