Kershaw then walked off the mound and was put on the injured list with a bone spur on his left big toe.

Days after the Dodgers’ World Series parade, Kershaw had two surgical operations: One on his left knee, where he had suffered a torn meniscus; and another on his left foot to address arthritis, a bone spur on his big toe and, most seriously, a ruptured plantar plate.

After about two weeks, Horstman was able to get an MRI and doctors found a bone spur.

Kershaw, who announced during the playoffs that he will return to the Dodgers next season, said the damage in his left foot was more extensive than the bone spur that previously was reported.

“I think I ruptured my plantar plate. I think I got a bone spur. I think I got some arthritis. I don’t really know. I gotta ask a few questions,” Kershaw said.
