"Brusdar Graterol has proven to be an invaluable member of the Dodgers bullpen since making his debut in 2020 as a 21-year-old. For parts of five seasons, "Bazooka" has compiled a terrific 2.69 ERA - allowing only 147 hits and nine homers in 181 innings pitched. The movement on his pitches are elite (as is his stuff). Graterol's ability to remain calm under pressure made him a favorite high-leverage selection for the coaching staff during the postseason."
"Graterol has yet to pitch this season. The front office has been waiting on pins and needles for his eventual return. Graterol has been dealing with rehabilitating from shoulder surgery he underwent after last year ended. The hopes are for him to hit the ground running and once again regain his standing as one of the most significant impact relievers on the ballclub."
Brusdar Graterol has been a valuable Dodgers bullpen arm since debuting in 2020 at age 21. Over parts of five seasons he has a 2.69 ERA, allowing only 147 hits and nine homers in 181 innings. His pitches feature elite movement and a 100-plus mph fastball, and his composure made him a preferred high-leverage option in the postseason. Graterol helped the Dodgers win the World Series despite limited regular-season use. He is rehabbing from shoulder surgery and has not pitched this season. Manager Roberts expects he will likely miss the regular season, though a postseason return has not been ruled out. The bullpen remains volatile.
