2024 Player Outlook

2023 Recap: Kershaw comes back for yet another season with the Dodgers. The future Hall of Famer underwent surgery on his shoulder after the season, and Los Angeles will be without him on the mound until the latter half of the 2024 season. Kershaw went 13-5 with a 2.46 ERA and 1.06 WHIP across 24 regular season starts last season, and despite what seems like a yearly trip to the injured list at this point in his career, he’s posted an ERA below 3.00 in more seasons in his career than he hasn’t. His curveball gets a ton of love, but his slider just might be better, and last year, it resulted in a .167 BAA and 36.2 percent whiff rate. 

2024 Outlook: If your league has IL spots, you could draft-and-stash Kershaw for when he makes his debut later on in 2024. However, keep in mind that there are going to a lot of moving parts in his return, and the Dodgers are going to ensure everything they do has him fully healthy for October baseball. When on the mound, he’s still very, very reliable for fantasy managers, but injuries are taking a toll on Kershaw, so his return could be a bit slower than it might have been in his younger years. If your league doesn't have IL spots, he's a much tougher selection on draft day, as he's going to burn a roster spot for multiple months.
