Starting spring opener Kershaw will start Friday's spring opener against the Brewers, Juan Toribio of MLB.com reports.

Impact Kershaw entered the offseason with major injury concerns after missing the playoffs with a forearm issue, and those concerns were only heightened when the Dodgers declined to tender him a qualifying offer. He re-signed with the team shortly following the end of the lockout however, indicating that Los Angeles felt at least reasonably confident about his health, and he's since said he's 100 percent healthy and will be ready for Opening Day. Some skepticism about that statement seems fair, but if he gets through his Friday appearance without issue, there will be little reason to worry about his early-season availability.

Impact Speaking to the media Sunday for the first time in 2022 after finalizing a one-year, $17 million contract to remain with the Dodgers, Kershaw said that he never considered retirement this offseason as soon as he received word from doctors that he wouldn't require surgery to address the forearm injury he sustained in early October during Los Angeles' final series of the regular season. While Kershaw relayed that he didn't start up his offseason throwing program until Jan. 1 due to the injury, he believes he's on pace for Opening Day so long as he incurs no setbacks with his buildup program during the abbreviated spring training. Fantasy managers will still have to take Kershaw's poor track record of durability into account on draft day, though the southpaw continued to pitch at a high level when he was available in 2021, submitting a 3.55 ERA, 1.02 WHIP and 144:21 K:BB across 121.1 frames.

Remaining with Dodgers Kershaw (forearm) signed a one-year, $17 million deal to return to the Dodgers on Friday, Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic reports.

Impact A return to the only organization Kershaw has ever known always seemed like the most likely outcome for the veteran lefty, though the fact that he wasn't tendered a qualifying offer after missing the entire postseason with a forearm issue raised the possibility that the Dodgers didn't have enough faith in his health to bring him back. Those health questions remain and it's unclear whether or not he'll be ready for game action by Opening Day, but it's at least now clear he'll be pitching in a pitcher's park with a strong roster at his back, maximizing his fantasy appeal for however many trips to the mound he's able to make.
