Los Angeles Dodgers left-hander Clayton Kershaw intends to have a proper start against the New York Mets when he faces them on Tuesday for the second time in less than two weeks. Kershaw has made just three starts since returning from knee and toe surgeries in the offseason,

Anticipation will certainly build towards the potential return of Mookie Betts, who has missed the last four games with a toe fracture, something he suffered in a regular home accident, getting out of bed.

It’s strange to hear Kershaw described as someone “finding his way.” For nearly two decades, Kershaw was the way — the standard, the pillar. It's a reminder that this is a completely different version of Kershaw.
