Clayton Kershaw’s professional baseball career has officially reached its end. The longtime Dodgers ace was replaced on Team USA’s World Baseball Classic roster by Blue Jays reliever Jeff Hoffman ahead of Sunday’s semifinal game against the Dominican Republic. Kershaw, who officially retired after the Dodgers’ World Series run in 2025, did not pitch in any of the Americans’ five WBC games, though he did pitch against the Rockies in a pre-tournament exhibition.
