Tony Gonsolin is already back in the rotation and looking as good as ever, and he'll be followed in short order by Clayton Kershaw, who will make his season debut Saturday, the team announced Tuesday.

Los Angeles Dodgers manager Dave Roberts told reporters Tuesday that the three-time Cy Young winner will make his season debut Saturday against the Los Angeles Angels. Kershaw missed the first month and a half of this season while rehabbing from surgeries on his foot and knee that he underwent in November.

Kershaw is preparing to embark on his 18th Major League season. He owns a 212-94 record and a career 2.50 ERA. He sits just 32 strikeouts away from 3,000 in his career, and would become the 20th player in MLB history to reach that mark.
