Clayton Kershaw is set to begin his rehab assignment with the Los Angeles Dodgers next Wednesday, marking a significant step towards his return to the active roster. After undergoing surgeries on his left foot and knee, Kershaw's recovery has been closely monitored by manager Dave Roberts. He is eligible to return on May 17, and the timing of his rehab aligns with that date.

In the meantime, the Dodgers' rotation is currently filled with talents like Yoshinobu Yamamoto and Tyler Glasnow, while other pitchers such as Tony Gonsolin and Shohei Ohtani are also in recovery. The absence of Blake Snell has prompted the elevation of Landon Knack, proving that the Dodgers have depth and resilience even amidst injury recovery.
