"Stone began experiencing difficulty recovering between starts, which ultimately led to surgery performed by renowned Dodgers team physician Neal ElAttrache. During the procedure, ElAttrache discovered that bone was scraping against the shoulder capsule. In addition to addressing that issue, they performed a partial labrum repair and a partial rotator cuff repair."
"Shoulders are certainly more tricky than the elbow historically, but Gavin put in a lot of work to get back to being the pitcher he was. Manager Dave Roberts cited the tricky nature of shoulder injuries when it comes to pitching and celebrated Stone's resilience."
Gavin Stone, Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher, underwent shoulder surgery on October 9, 2024, to repair his capsule, partial labrum, and partial rotator cuff. The procedure, performed by team physician Neal ElAttrache, revealed bone scraping against the shoulder capsule, requiring more extensive work than initially anticipated. Stone missed the 2024 World Series victory and the entire 2025 season, spending over 500 days recovering. Before his injury, Stone pitched 140.1 innings in 2024 with a 3.53 ERA. Manager Dave Roberts acknowledged the complexity of shoulder injuries in pitching and praised Stone's resilience and dedication throughout his recovery process.
