"Graterol didn't pitch at all in 2025 after undergoing shoulder surgery in Nov. 2024. The 6'1″, 260-pound flamethrower only tossed 7 1/3 big league innings and another 9 2/3 minor league rehab frames in 2024 due to troubles in that shoulder. He last enjoyed a healthy season in 2023, when he rattled off a career-high 67 1/3 innings with a masterful 1.20 ERA."
"The 27-year-old Graterol came to the Dodgers in the 2019-20 offseason trade that shipped righty Kenta Maeda to the Twins. The Dodgers were keenly aware that the right-hander had already battled injury troubles in his young career at the time. He's been terrific in L.A. when healthy (2.69 ERA, 11 saves, 38 holds) but has managed to pitch only 181 innings across the past five seasons due to persistent health troubles."
Brusdar Graterol will not be available for Opening Day while he is being slow-played in spring training as he rehabs from right shoulder labrum surgery performed in November 2024. He missed the entire 2025 season and threw minimal innings in 2024 during rehab stints. Graterol delivered a standout 2023 (67 1/3 innings, 1.20 ERA) but has struggled with recurring shoulder issues that limited him to 181 innings over five seasons in Los Angeles. The Dodgers have not set a firm timetable for his return, and he enters his final year of team control before free agency.
