Clayton Kershaw's postseason hopes with the Los Angeles Dodgers have ended due to a toe injury, as manager Dave Roberts confirmed the team is closing the door on his return. Kershaw has faced multiple physical challenges this season, including a shoulder surgery and a bone spur in his toe, which has worsened.

The Dodgers will rely on other starters for their National League Division Series against the San Diego Padres, with rookie Edgardo Henriquez making the roster over veteran Joe Kelly, who is also injured.

Additionally, the status of Freddie Freeman remains uncertain after he sprained his ankle, impacting the team's lineup decisions.
