"I'm grateful to Dr. Neil Elatrache for the surgery,"

"I hope I can return at some point next summer. I would like to express my gratitude to those who prayed." Dr. Elat Bakche was also in charge of surgery for Ryu Hyun-jin and Shohei Ohtani in the past, and Kershaw conveyed his intention to extend his active career along with the news of his surgery.

"This is the first time in his career that he has had surgery on his throwing arm, and when he suffered a left elbow injury in October 2021, he received PRP (self-serum injection)."

Kershaw, who left a huge record of 210 wins, 92 losses and a 2.48 ERA in 2,712 ⅔ innings in 425 games in the big league, showed off his robustness this season by recording 13 wins, 5 losses and a 2.46 ERA in 131 ⅔ innings in 24 games, three consecutive years.

However, it remained regrettable that he could not play the season full-time due to a shoulder injury. Kershaw was advised by Dr. Elatrache in July to rest for a few weeks after being injured against the Colorado Rockies on June 28, and was away for more than a month.

The aftermath of the injury was longer than expected. Kershaw, who announced his return against Colorado on Aug. 11, has played six innings or less in all eight appearances since his return from injury, including the game. He failed to show off his previous performance, such as a drop in direct ball speed.

The last one was "Sad Ending." Kershaw started Game 1 of the National League Division Series (ALDS) against the Arizona Diamondbacks on the 8th of last month and was replaced early with six hits (one homer) and one walk and six runs in ⅓ innings. Kershaw no longer took the mound as the team also ended the series with three consecutive losses. 카지노사이트

As the Dodgers' season ended, attention was naturally drawn to Kershaw's future. This is because Kershaw has played many innings, and it was unclear whether he would choose to extend his active career, given that he also has concerns about injuries. Above all, no one knows if he will wear the Dodgers uniform next year as he became a free agent at the end of the season.

"In the end, it remains to be seen how the Dodgers will move. However, it is clear that Kershaw will not be on the opening roster for the first time in 10 years, and the future thereafter is very uncertain," he said. Attention is focusing on what choice Kershaw, who postponed his retirement, will make this winter.
