This will be Kershaw's first game as a color analyst for SportsNet LA this season. Kershaw has done some media work this year, working as a sideline reporter for NBC for two games — both involving the Dodgers.
It will take time to get used to this

Kershaw retired from MLB at the conclusion of the 2026 season after winning his third World Series title with LA. He then took part in the 2026 World Baseball Classic, before officially putting an end to his baseball playing career.
Now, Kershaw has begun a new endeavor in the media, and that has led him to being a color analyst on Tuesday for SNLA.
"There's a freedom with retirement, you know?," Kershaw said in March. "If you don't want to work out, you don't have to. If your back hurts, it doesn't matter. If your arm hurts, it doesn't matter. You get to see a lot more stuff, be around for everything. There's a lot of great parts. It doesn't take away from how special playing this game is, but there's a lot of really awesome parts about being home and being a dad."
In addition to his work in the media, Kershaw also joined the Dodgers as a special assistant in March.
“I think I'll be involved somehow. Probably not physically here in LA, but for sure I'll watch games," Kershaw said at the time on SportsNet LA. "I still want to be a part of the Dodgers. So if I can help in some small piece, I will."
On Tuesday, Kershaw will put his broadcasting hat on to call what could prove to be a very important game this season.
Coverage for Tuesday's series opener between the Los Angeles Dodgers and Atlanta Braves begins at 3 p.m. PT on SportsNet LA. First pitch is at 4:15 p.m. PT.
