Brusdar Graterol
RP - Los Angeles Dodgers - IL60
Roster %
Eligibility
Brusdar Graterol (shoulder) has stopped his throwing program due to arm soreness, per manager Dave Roberts.
Fantasy Impact
Roberts added “It’s going to be a long program” to get him back. Graterol’s setback likely means there will not be a timetable for his return and fantasy managers should consider it will be well after his first eligible date of May 18.
The Dodgers transferred Brusdar Graterol (shoulder) to the 60-day IL.
Fantasy Impact
The move was made to clear a 40-man roster spot for Nick Ramirez. The reliever was cleared to throw off a mound for the first time since being diagnosed with right shoulder inflammation. Graterol would now be eligible to return in mid-May.
Brusdar Graterol signed a one-year deal worth $2.7 million with the Dodgers to avoid arbitration.
Fantasy Impact
Graterol should remain in a high leverage role towards the end of the Dodgers bullpen, and could see some save chances as he did last season.
With another flawless performance, Brusdar Graterol adds to his impressive season, boasting a 1.38 ERA, 1.06 WHIP, and 7 saves in 59 games.
Fantasy Impact
His strong strikeout-to-walk ratio of 3.91 and solid fielding independent pitching of 3.16 indicate continued success for fantasy managers relying on his reliable relief outings.
Brusdar Graterol has been unavailable for the last two days due to an arm injury.
Fantasy Impact
Manager Dave Roberts didn't elaborate on what the injury is outside of it being an issue with Graterol's arm. He also said that they will see if he is available for Thursday, but if not, they'd have to make a decision. This likely would mean an IL stint, but it looks like we won't know for certain until closer to game time.
