Brusdar Graterol

Brusdar Graterol has begun throwing bullpen sessions at the Los Angeles Dodgers' complex in Arizona.

Fantasy Impact

Graterol continues to recover from right shoulder surgery and has now reached the next stage of his rehab by throwing bullpen sessions. He does not have a clear timetable for return, but the expectation is that he will be able to return to the mound in 2026 after missing all of last season.

Graterol has had difficulty regaining velocity since shoulder surgery and didn't appear in any spring training games. He's been throwing, but there's no clear timeline for when he might be available for the Dodgers' bullpen.

Los Angeles placed him on the 15-day IL Monday.

Brusdar Graterol (shoulder) is in a "holding pattern" at the moment and has not thrown off a mound recently according to Dodgers' manager Dave Roberts.

Fantasy Impact

Graterol was a key piece of the Dodgers' bullpen from 2020-23 as he pitched to a 2.69 ERA over 173.2 innings. However, injuries have limited the hard-throwing righthander to just seven appearances over the last two seasons. It was already known that he wasn't going to be ready for Opening Day. But, now there is definitely no timetable for his return.

Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said Brusdar Graterol will not be ready for the start of the season.

Fantasy Impact

Graterol is continuing to be brought back slowly. His velocity ticked up last time he threw off a mound, so he does appear to be progressing in the right direction. It is unclear if he'll open the season on the injured list.

Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said the team is "slow playing" Brusdar Graterol a bit this spring.

Fantasy Impact

Graterol is continuing to work his way back from shoulder surgery with the ball not coming out the way they expected early in camp. He still has a little over a month to get healthy for the start of the season.
