Clayton Kershaw won't pitch for the Dodgers in playoffs due to big toe injury

Clayton Kershaw, sidelined since late August with a toe injury, won't pitch again this season for the Los Angeles Dodgers.

"This is it for Clayton for 2024," manager Dave Roberts said Saturday before Game 1 of the National League Division Series between the Dodgers and San Diego Padres.

A 36-year-old left-hander, Kershaw is a three-time Cy Young Award winner and 10-time All-Star. He didn't pitch until July 25 after having offseason shoulder surgery. He went on the injured list Aug. 31 with a bone spur in his left big toe.
