Clayton Kershaw is good. He’s always been good. But this year, the Dodgers ace has been on something of a career renaissance. Yes, his numbers were better overall last season (2.28 ERA in 2022 compared to 2.74 in 2023). But the biggest difference for Kershaw this year is in days spent on the injured list.
This year, that number is zero.
That has led to a happier Clayton Kershaw in 2023. After his 7 shutout inning performance against the Anaheim Angels on Tuesday night, he told reporters that some adjustments to his routine have helped him put together his healthiest season (so far) in years.
