- Kershaw, who will turn 38 in March, previously announced his retirement following the 2025 season, which ended with a championship win for the Los Angeles Dodgers, where he played a key relief role in the World Series.
- Despite limited pitching ability in 2025, Kershaw was effective with an 11-2 record and a 3.36 ERA, primarily serving as an emergency innings absorber for the Dodgers and is expected to have a similar role for Team USA.
