Clayton Kershaw, the three-time Cy Young winner and former National League MVP, is set to make his 2025 debut for the Los Angeles Dodgers on Saturday against the Los Angeles Angels. Manager Dave Roberts announced that Kershaw will be activated from the 60-day injured list for this game, marking his first start since last August due to offseason surgeries on his left knee and left foot.

Kershaw has been preparing for his return through five minor league rehab starts, totaling 21 innings with a 2.57 ERA, culminating in a performance where he threw four innings and 57 pitches for Triple-A Oklahoma City. His return is significant as he enters his 18th MLB season with a career 2.50 ERA and is just 32 strikeouts away from reaching 3,000 career strikeouts. Kershaw signed an incentive-laden contract for the season.

In other Dodgers news, rookie pitcher Roki Sasaki is dealing with arm soreness, and the team is contemplating whether to place him on the injured list. Sasaki has a 4.72 ERA this season. This development adds to the Dodgers' pitching concerns, with several other pitchers currently sidelined, potentially affecting their ability to maintain a six-man rotation.
