Brusdar Graterol is on the 60-day injured list after offseason shoulder surgery and his expected return is uncertain. He only played seven games last year due to injuries. Manager Dave Roberts indicated there's a small chance of Graterol returning this season, as he is currently not throwing. If he does progress, a lengthy rehab assignment may not be necessary due to his experience. The Dodgers are optimistic to have Tanner Scott, Kirby Yates, and Michael Kopech return before the regular season ends, while Brock Stewart is expected to miss roughly three weeks.
The right-hander began the year on the 60-day injured list after undergoing offseason surgery to repair the labrum in his right shoulder. Graterol was limited to just seven games last year because of hip and shoulder trouble, but wound up making three appearances against the New York Yankees in the World Series.
Roberts revealed that Graterol is not throwing at the moment and added there's only a "small chance" of the right-hander pitching this season.
If Brusdar comes back, he's done it many times over, where he doesn't need to go through the whole process." - Roberts reflecting on Graterol's potential return.
While the latest update on Graterol is unfortunate, the Dodgers are still expecting to get back Tanner Scott, Kirby Yates and Michael Kopech before the end of the regular season.
