"Mentally, I feel great. I had shoulder surgery last offseason, and my shoulder and elbow, everything, my arm, feels great," Kershaw said on the Fox Sports pregame show. "Obviously, I had some tough luck with my foot this year. But I want to make use of this surgery. I don't want to have surgery and shut it down."
Kershaw was asked Tuesday if he plans to test out the free agency market. "I'm going to be a Dodger," Kershaw said to Bill Plunkett of the OC Register.
Kershaw's return will allow him another chance to reach the 3,000 career strikeout mark, a feat only 19 other players in MLB history have achieved.
Kershaw has spent his entire career with the Dodgers since Los Angeles drafted him No. 7 overall in 2006. Kershaw has considered signing with the Texas Rangers - his hometown team - in the past, but has continually returned to the Dodgers.
