The Los Angeles Dodgers added Brock Stewart to improve their bullpen, while primarily depending on the return of injured players like Tanner Scott and Kirby Yates. Michael Kopech, Brusdar Graterol, and Evan Phillips are also sidelined, with Phillips out for the season after Tommy John surgery. Blake Treinen has just returned, while uncertainty looms around Graterol's status. Manager Dave Roberts noted the similarities to last year's rotation issues, highlighting concerns over the bullpen's current state and relying on key players' return later in the season.
Graterol has been an important part of the Dodgers bullpen the past few years, especially during his best season as a professional in 2023.
Injuries last season similarly prevented him from making many appearances. However, he was able to be a part of the Dodgers' World Series roster.
Tanner Scott and Kirby Yates are the recent Dodgers relievers to be placed on the injured list, joining the likes of Michael Kopech, Brusdar Graterol and Evan Phillips.
Until you get them back, you just don't know. And obviously we don't know where Graterol is at, so just kind of the uncertainty.
