"Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Gavin Stone missed all of 2025 while recovering from shoulder surgery, and gave an update on his availability for the 2026 season. "I just finished my rehab process, so hopefully going into next spring training, it'll be full-go and we'll see where it takes us," Stone said. Stone had a 3.53 ERA through 25 starts in 2024, becoming a key part of the rotation after a brief run of games in 2023."
"The Dodgers desperately need a reliable arm in the bullpen, and Stone could provide it with some experience in long relief. He made four appearances out of the bullpen in 2023, two times following an opener and two times in an extended relief outing. He pitched 5.1 innings in the two appearances during which he didn't follow an opener, allowing just one run."
Gavin Stone missed the entire 2025 season while recovering from shoulder surgery and has finished his rehab process. He said he hopes to be full-go entering 2026 spring training. Stone posted a 3.53 ERA across 25 starts in 2024, totaling 140.1 innings, 116 strikeouts and a 113 OPS+. He made eight appearances in 2023 with a 9.00 ERA through 31 innings. The Dodgers project a crowded rotation likely featuring six starters, and Stone could provide value as a long-relief option out of the bullpen based on prior relief outings.
