Clayton Kershaw, the veteran left-hander for the Los Angeles Dodgers, is slated to begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Oklahoma City, indicating a return is near. Currently on the injured list, Kershaw cannot be activated until May 17. Despite experiencing a slew of injuries and surgeries over recent seasons, Kershaw is keen to finish his career on his terms. His ongoing popularity is evident as he ranked 11th in MLB jersey sales, underlining his lasting impact on the sport, even while sidelined during the postseason.
"I don't want [injuries] to be the reason that I stopped playing. I don't want to be, like, 'I just can't do it, [I'm] hurt.' Hopefully, I can walk out on my own terms, whenever that is."
Despite his absence throughout the postseason, Kershaw was just shy of being in the top 10 highest-selling jerseys in MLB. The future Hall of Famer took the No. 11 spot, which speaks volumes about Kershaw's impact on the sport.
