Tony Gonsolin is already back in the rotation and looking as good as ever, and he'll be followed in short order by Clayton Kershaw, who will make his season debut Saturday, the team announced Tuesday.

Amidst a rash of starting pitcher injuries, the Dodgers are getting their longtime ace back. Clayton Kershaw will make his season debut on Saturday at Dodger Stadium against the Angels, manager Dave Roberts said on Tuesday afternoon.

Kershaw is preparing to embark on his 18th Major League season. He owns a 212-94 record and a career 2.50 ERA. He sits just 32 strikeouts away from 3,000 in his career, and would become the 20th player in MLB history to reach that mark.

The Los Angeles Dodgers are set to return a key figure in the starting pitching unit with Clayton Kershaw playing on Saturday.

As southpaw Clayton Kershaw has worked his way back from offseason surgeries on his left knee and left toe, he's made tuneups in Oklahoma City, Okla.; Springdale, Ark.; and Glendale, Ariz. His next start should come on a more familiar mound in Los Angeles.

This could be Clayton Kershaw's last stand. The often-injured and surgically repaired left-hander is targeted to make his first start of the season Sunday for the Los Angeles Dodgers against the Los Angeles Angels at Dodger Stadium.

A pair of injured Los Angeles Dodgers pitchers both continued their rehab assignments with Triple-A Oklahoma City on Sunday, with Clayton Kershaw starting the game and Michael Kopech pitching out of the bullpen.
