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.

The Dodgers have rolled without Clayton Kershaw as their lead-off starting pitcher. L.A., however, could welcome him back soon.

Kershaw is returning just when the Dodgers need him most, with the club dealing with a multitude of injuries that not even their high-priced offseason has been able to fix. The team certainly hopes that Kershaw’s steady presence in the locker room will aid them in their title defense.
