"Reliever Brusdar Graterol is in "a holding pattern" in his attempt to return from shoulder surgery in November 2024, according to Roberts. "I wouldn't say progress. I wouldn't say a setback," Roberts said. "I just think that, right now, from what I've heard, we don't feel in a position to kind of ramp him up, so he's just playing catch. And I don't think we're gonna see him on the mound for a little bit longer.""
"The Dodgers are taking the necessary precautions because of Graterol's injury history over the past two seasons, but also because of how impactful of an arm he can be when on the mound. In parts of five seasons with the Dodgers, Graterol owns a 10-8 record with a 2.69 ERA, 3.19 FIP and 1.03 WHIP over 181 innings pitched."
Brusdar Graterol remains sidelined as the Los Angeles Dodgers carefully manage his recovery from right labrum surgery performed in November 2024. The right-handed reliever has not pitched since the procedure and shows no progress in his throwing program. Manager Dave Roberts indicated the team is not yet ready to ramp up Graterol's workload, keeping him limited to playing catch. Graterol is expected to miss Opening Day due to his restricted Spring Training activity. The Dodgers are taking precautions given his injury history and his value as a reliable bullpen arm. Over five seasons with the team, Graterol has compiled a 2.69 ERA with a 1.03 WHIP. Other injured pitchers including Evan Phillips and Brock Stewart are also working their way back from injuries.
