"Clayton Kershaw Returns: Dodgers Activate Ace for Season Debut Against Angels"
[!CDATA[The Los Angeles Dodgers have activated left-handed pitcher Clayton Kershaw from the injured list in preparation for his season debut against the Los Angeles Angels. In a corresponding move, the Dodgers have optioned right-handed pitcher Ryan Loutos and placed left-hander Blake Snell on the 60-day IL. Kershaw underwent offseason surgeries to address his left meniscus and bone spurs in his left toe, leading to his placement on the IL at the start of the season. Despite the setbacks, Kershaw showed promise during his rehab starts with Triple-A Oklahoma City, posting a 2.57 ERA with 16 strikeouts and five walks in 21 innings. Kershaw's return to the mound on Saturday will mark his first start since August 30, 2024, when he faced the Arizona Diamondbacks. His previous season was cut short due to a toe injury that landed him on the IL and kept him out of the postseason. With Kershaw back in action, the Dodgers are looking to bolster their pitching rotation and make a strong push towards success in the upcoming games.
