""Shaved up a bone spur, kind of took out part of my clavicle, took out the bursa," Stewart said nonchalantly, hopeful that the rather gory specifics of the operation will finally lead to better health moving forward."
""It just essentially gave me way more room for the head of my humerus to rotate," Stewart added. "Feels much better. I can tell inherently it's very much cleaned up. The throw feels good.""
""I've pitched in 13 professional seasons, and it seems like half of those seasons I've dealt with something in my shoulder," he said. "So, it is what it is. Hopefully, this took care of those chronic issues.""
The Los Angeles Dodgers reacquired Brock Stewart from the Minnesota Twins at the MLB trade deadline to bolster the bullpen. Stewart appeared in four games with the Dodgers before moving to the injured list with right shoulder inflammation. Recovery included a second cortisone injection, a three-game Triple-A rehab assignment, and season-ending right shoulder surgery. The procedure removed a bone spur, part of the clavicle, and the bursa to create more room for the humeral head and improve rotation. Stewart has had recurrent shoulder problems across 13 professional seasons, has resumed baseball activities, expects to miss Opening Day but aims to pitch the majority of the 2026 season, and may not return to prior high-leverage usage given the Dodgers' revamped bullpen.
