Kershaw, who has won 210 games in total, agrees to one-year contract with Dodgers to return after summer. He had a good record last season with 13 wins and 5 losses and an ERA of 2.46, but he underwent surgery on his left shoulder last November.

Pitcher Kershaw is expected to return from July to August this year, and for the Dodgers, who have signed a series of large-scale contracts this offseason, he will be dependable from the second half of the season to the postseason.
