Dodgers’ Clayton Kershaw will have foot and knee surgeries on Wednesday

LOS ANGELES — A year ago, Clayton Kershaw had the first major surgery of his career.

This year, he joked he’s going in for “a 2-for-1 special.” Kershaw said he will have two surgeries next Wednesday, one a meniscus repair of his left knee and the other a more complicated procedure to address the chronic problems he has with the big toe on his left foot.

That injury forced Kershaw to the injured list after just seven starts this season and prevented him from pitching in the postseason.
