Fantasy Impact

Graterol has a 3.21 ERA, 0.99 WHIP, .214 BAA, and a 7.93 K/9 ratio in 44 game this season. The 24-year-old has pitched in a variety of roles this season and does not hold much fantasy value for the rest of the season.

Brusdar Graterol will be activated from the injured list on Thursday by the Dodgers.

Fantasy Impact

Graterol has not pitched since August 28 after dealing with elbow inflammation. Injuries have limited Graterol to just 44.2 innings pitched. His return instantly improves the Dodgers' bullpen that has been plagued with injures.

Brusdar Graterol (right elbow inflammation) could throw a bullpen session for the Dodgers Sunday, per manager Dave Roberts.

Fantasy Impact

Graterol landed on the IL for the second time this season on September 1st. The 24-year-old reliever has a 3.02 ERA, .200 BAA, and a 7.86 K/9 ratio in 41 games this season. The Dodgers have not provided a timetable for Graterol’s return.

Dodgers reliever Brusdar Graterol (shoulder) could be activated from the 15-day injured list this coming weekend, manager Dave Roberts told Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic.

Fantasy Impact

Graterol will pitch a pair of rehab outings in Triple-A on Wednesday and Thursday. If all goes well, he'll rejoin the active roster over the weekend. The 23-year-old right-hander has tossed 40 1/3 innings out of the bullpen this season, amassing a 2.61 xERA, 61.6 GB%, 7.81 K/9, and 2.23 BB/9. Graterol won't be the Dodgers' main closer when he returns, but he could see enough save situations to give him some low-end fantasy relevance.

Brusdar Graterol is set to throw to live hitters again Tuesday and then likely begin a rehab assignment in Triple-A.

Fantasy Impact

Graterol was placed on the the IL in the middle of July with right shoulder inflammation. He registered a 3.35 ERA, .201 OBA, and a 7.81 K/9 ratio in 40 1/3 innings prior to the injury. There is no word on how many rehab appearances Graterol will make prior to rejoining the Dodgers.
