"Brock Stewart I saw the other day in a 'pen, and it was really good. Just fastballs only. I think his next 'pen, he's going to introduce some breaking balls, but it was really good. Arm speed, hand speed was really good, better than I thought. Came in the following day, which was yesterday, and felt good."
"The Dodgers will be without at least three pitchers to start the season, as Brusdar Graterol, Blake Snell and Evan Phillips do not have the green light for Opening Day. Graterol is in a holding pattern due to a lack of progress, Snell is limited to flat grounds at the moment, and Phillips is recovering from Tommy John."
The Los Angeles Dodgers face significant pitching challenges with at least three relievers unavailable for Opening Day. Brusdar Graterol shows limited progress, Blake Snell remains restricted to flat grounds, and Evan Phillips continues recovering from Tommy John surgery. However, Brock Stewart, acquired from Minnesota at the trade deadline, is recovering ahead of schedule from shoulder surgery performed last September. Stewart has completed two bullpen sessions with impressive arm and hand speed, and his next session will include breaking balls. While the Dodgers remain cautious about his Opening Day availability, his accelerated recovery provides encouragement for the bullpen's depth.
