Dodgers pitching great Clayton Kershaw will announce Thursday that he will retire at the end of the 2025 season, the team announced in a statement.

The Dodgers have announced a 5:30 p.m. press conference Thursday where Kershaw will address the media.

The three-time National League Cy Young Award winner has played all 18 seasons with the Dodgers since they selected him seventh overall in the 2006 MLB draft. His 222-96 record and 15 shutouts rank first among active major-league pitchers.

The 37-year-old left-hander will make his final Dodger Stadium regular-season start against the San Francisco Giants on Friday night.

Kershaw, an integral part of two World Series championship teams, will finish his career as an 11-time All-Star who won the 2014 National League MVP award.
