Los Angeles Dodgers fans received some bad news today. It was revealed that Clayton Kershaw will take longer than initially expected to return to the active lineup. As one of the best pitchers in the MLB, the team was hoping their star would resume his Cy Young campaign as soon as possible, but this recent update from the manager puts those expectations on hold.The three-time Cy Young award winner has an excellent 1.80 ERA in 2022, and has yet to pitch a losing effort. This news of an extended recovery time did not sit well with Los Angeles Dodgers fans.Jon Morosi was first to report the comments from manager Dave Roberts about the expected timeline for Kershaw's return.Jon Morosi@jonmorosiClayton Kershaw is probably “a couple weeks away” from throwing a bullpen session, Dave Roberts told @DaniWex on @MLBNetworkRadio a moment ago. @MLBNetwork13724Clayton Kershaw is probably “a couple weeks away” from throwing a bullpen session, Dave Roberts told @DaniWex on @MLBNetworkRadio a moment ago. @MLBNetwork"Clayton Kershaw is probably “a couple weeks away” from throwing a bullpen session" - @ Jon MorosiThe 15-year Los Angeles Dodgers veteran does have a history of injuries, and now that he is 34, needing time off from the grueling schedule to heal is not surprising.Los Angeles Dodgers fans troubled by the loss of Clayton KershawClayton Kershaw is an underrated great Baseball name.As one of the most stacked teams in the MLB, the team will likely have little issue losing their top pitcher for the early part of the season, as the team has depth in the rotation to make up for the loss of Clayton Kershaw.
