The Los Angeles Dodgers received good news on reliever Brusdar Graterol's injury, manager Dave Roberts said Wednesday, after an MRI revealed a Grade 1 hamstring strain, instead of the Grade 3 strain that was initially feared.
Graterol, who suffered a shoulder injury early in spring training, was making his season debut Tuesday night when he felt a pop in the back of his right leg after only eight pitches.
Roberts said after the game that the team believed the injury to be a Grade 3 strain, which would effectively end Graterol's season after it had only just begun.
The Dodgers bullpen has suffered through a slew of injuries and is currently without three key relievers in Blake Treinen, Michael Grove and Ryan Brasier, though all three are expected back relatively soon.
