""Back flare up, we're talking to the doctors and kind of seeing what the next steps are there," Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said."
""So we're going to shut him down for a while," Dodgers general manager Brandon Gomes said. "I don't know what the next course of action is. It's going to be a slow program, unfortunately.""
"The Dodgers have not yet determined whether Graterol's back is a structural issue, and they are waiting to see what the doctors learn. However, surgery is on the table as a potential option for Graterol."
""Potentially," Roberts answered when asked if Graterol will need surgery. "We've got to work through that. He's worked really hard, so we're trying to exhaust all measures here.""
Brusdar Graterol began a rehab assignment in early May while recovering from right shoulder surgery performed in November 2024. Multiple setbacks have occurred, and a new back issue has emerged during the rehab process. He was transferred to the 60-day injured list on May 17, creating roster space for Eric Lauer. The Dodgers are consulting doctors to determine next steps and whether the back problem is structural. The team plans to shut him down for a while and pursue a slow program. Surgery remains a potential option if needed. Graterol has not pitched for the Dodgers since the 2024 World Series and had limited action in 2024. He made four Triple-A appearances before the back injury and is set to become a free agent after the season.
