The Los Angeles Dodgers have their sights set on the postseason as they have reached the later stages of the regular season, but they are still awaiting word on a number of starting pitchers making their way back from injury.

The future Hall of Famer has been trying different modifications to his cleats to take pressure off his injured toe and hopes to return before the end of the regular season.

Dave Roberts said the team would have a better idea of Kershaw’s potential return date when the swelling in his toe goes down. At last report, he was going to be put in a walking boot, but they are hopeful he could return before the end of the season.
