"The story of Kershaw in 2025 is an incredible one. The southpaw was not expected to play a pivotal role for LA this season, but emerged as a consistent starter as the rotation was decimated by injuries. He ended the regular season sporting a 3.36 ERA with 84 strikeouts across 112.2 innings of work, finding new ways to dominate in Year 18."
"While Dodgers fans are used to seeing Kershaw take the mound as a starter, it appears Year 18 brings something new for the future Hall of Famer as he will likely pitch exclusively in relief during the NLDS. The Dodgers starting rotation is set with Shohei Ohtani taking Game 1 and Blake Snell expected to take Game 2. Yoshinobu Yamamoto and Tyler Glasnow will be available for Games 3 and 4 of the NLDS."
Clayton Kershaw will be on the Dodgers' NL Division Series roster and will be used out of the bullpen as a reliever. He was left off the Wild Card roster because he had pitched in his final regular-season start days earlier and did not have enough rest. The Dodgers plan Shohei Ohtani for Game 1 and Blake Snell for Game 2, with Yoshinobu Yamamoto and Tyler Glasnow available for Games 3 and 4. Kershaw compiled a 3.36 ERA with 84 strikeouts in 112.2 innings in 2025 and made one flawless 15-pitch relief appearance. The Dodgers need bullpen help from Kershaw, Emmet Sheehan, and Roki Sasaki.
