Brusdar Graterol avoids arbitration with Dodgers

Brusdar Graterol avoided arbitration and signed a one-year extension with the Los Angeles Dodgers. The contract is worth $2.8 million.

Fantasy Impact

Graterol rejoins the Dodgers' bullpen after battling injuries over the past two seasons. He missed all of last year and pitched only seven games in a Los Angeles uniform in 2024. Graterol, still only 27, has served as a high-leverage reliever for the Dodgers in the past and is 10-8 with 11 saves and a 2.69 ERA in 178 games with Los Angeles. Despite regularly hitting triple digits on the radar gun, Graterol's strikeout rate is only 19.5%, but he does have a ground ball rate of 61.7% for his career with his heavy sinker. Since he's coming back from two injury-marred seasons, the Dodgers will likely ease him back into the bullpen.
