"Brock Stewart's importance increased in the wake of Edwin Díaz undergoing right elbow surgery and Brusdar Graterol's long road to a return remaining somewhat stagnant."
"I would say that's kind of our plan, and hopefully we don't feel the need to have to deviate from that plan, that total progression."
"As Roberts was forecasting what lied ahead for Stewart, he noted getting activated off the 15-day injured list would become a 'real conversation' once he completed the back-to-back exercise."
Brock Stewart began the 2026 season recovering from shoulder surgery, but optimism grew as he started a rehab assignment on April 14. His role became crucial due to injuries in the bullpen. Stewart pitched scoreless innings in Single-A and then moved to Triple-A, where he continued to progress. Dodgers manager Dave Roberts outlined a plan for Stewart's return, emphasizing the need for back-to-back appearances before activation from the injured list. Stewart's recent performances indicate he is nearing a return to the team.
