Availability
Stone (shoulder) is recovering from surgery on his right shoulder and has experienced a setback. An MRI revealed inflammation in the shoulder but showed no structural damage.
Fantasy Impact
Manager Dave Roberts said Tuesday that Stone will be shut down from throwing for at least a couple weeks. If he can resume his throwing program after that period, full clearance could come before the end of April.
Los Angeles Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said that Gavin Stone’s surgically repaired shoulder began bothering him again following last week’s start and a subsequent bullpen session. He has been shut down from throwing for the time being.
Fantasy Impact
Stone missed the entire 2025 season while recovering from shoulder surgery and has now experienced a setback, which does not bode well for his chances of being ready for opening day. There is currently no timeline for when he will resume throwing, and fantasy managers should expect the Dodgers to proceed cautiously, especially after he did not pitch at all in 2025.
Gavin Stone threw a live batting practice on Saturday.
Fantasy Impact
Stone missed the entire 2025 campaign while recovering from shoulder surgery, so it’s an encouraging sign that he is already throwing live batting practice sessions. He last pitched for the Los Angeles Dodgers in 2024, posting a 3.53 ERA and 1.21 WHIP with 116 strikeouts across 140.1 innings. Given the Dodgers’ rotation depth, Stone could begin the season in the minors.
Gavin Stone is expected to be ready for spring training and undergo a "normal" buildup, according to Los Angeles Dodgers general manager Brandon Gomes. The right-hander missed the entire 2025 campaign while recovering from right shoulder surgery.
Fantasy Impact
Stone's surgery involved repairing a full capsule tear along with partial tears of the rotator cuff and labrum, leaving some uncertainty about how his stuff will return. Despite the positive health update, the 27-year-old is likely to begin the 2026 season in the minors due to his long layoff and the Dodgers' rotation depth.
The Dodgers placed Gavin Stone on the 60-day injured list.
Fantasy Impact
It was announced earlier in the offseason that Stone would miss the entire season after undergoing shoulder surgery back in October. He'll look to make a full recovery heading into the 2026 season.
