2024 Fantasy Outlook

Limited but effective was an accurate way to describe Kershaw for the third straight year in 2023, as he posted a 2.46 ERA, 1.06 WHIP and 137:40 K:BB across 131.2 innings. The left-hander was sidelined for six weeks over the summer with shoulder inflammation but returned in August and gave up just nine runs in his final eight outings, though he averaged fewer than five frames per start. Kershaw was then lit up for six runs while recording just one out in his lone playoff start, and he ended up requiring shoulder surgery after the season. He indicated a possible return sometime in the summer of 2024, but there are major question marks as he hits free agency heading into his age-36 campaign. Injuries have been a concern for years as his 24 starts last season was the most since 2019, but major shoulder surgery is a much different beast than the arm soreness, discomfort and back issues he's otherwise pitched around. With a vague recovery timeline, Kershaw is likely nothing more than a stash for fantasy managers in 2024, barring any significant developments in his rehab. Read Past Outlooks
