Manager Dave Roberts said Thursday that Clayton Kershaw will be on the Los Angeles Dodgers' World Series roster against the Toronto Blue Jays.
The 37-year-old future Hall of Famer last pitched in Game 3 of the National League Division Series against the Phillies, where he gave up six hits and five runs. He had previously been left out of the wildcard squad against the Reds.
He was on the team's National League Championship Series roster but did not appear in the four-game sweep.
Kershaw announced in September that he would retire after this season. The 11-time All-Star and 2014 NFC MVP also won three Cy Young Awards during his career. Kershaw is the 2020 and 2024 World Series champion.
Left-hander Blake Snell will start Game 1 for Los Angeles on Friday, his first series appearance since 2020, when he started Game 6 against the Dodgers in Tampa Bay.
