Clayton Kershaw is poised to pitch in his 18th season with the Los Angeles Dodgers, but for now he remains on a rehab assignment with Triple-A Oklahoma City while waiting to become eligible to be activated off the 60-day injured list.
As Kershaw continues to make starts for the Comets, FOCO released a new bobblehead of the longtime Dodgers ace in the Triple-A uniform.

The newest Kershaw bobblehead has him in a pitching action pose and dressed in the home Oklahoma City Comets uniform. Kershaw is set atop a thematic base that features team logos on both sides of the backdrop, along with the OKC Comets wordmark on top of it.
Kershaw’s Oklahoma City bobblehead is limited to a production run of 96 units and won’t be restocked once quantities sell out.
The left-hander has made three rehab starts thus far, with two coming for Oklahoma City. Kershaw’s first game action of the year saw him pitch three innings for the Comets, and he then started for Double-A Tulsa on April 22.
Kershaw was back with Oklahoma City for a start on April 30, which was his longest thus far at five-plus innings. He expects to pitch for the Dodgers’ Triple-A affiliate again next week.
They initially had him planned for starts on April 29 and May 4, but inclement weather rained out Oklahoma City on Tuesday. Minor League schedules do not have games on Mondays, which makes May 6 the earliest Kershaw will pitch again.
When will Kershaw pitch for Dodgers?
The earliest date Kershaw can return from the 60-day injured list is Saturday, May 17. He appears to be on track for joining the Dodgers’ rotation around that time despite initially projecting June as the target.
