BRUSDAR GRATEROL NEWS

Settles at $2.8 million Graterol (shoulder) agreed to a one-year, $2.8 million contract with the Dodgers on Thursday to avoid arbitration, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

Impact Injuries plagued Graterol's 2024 campaign, as shoulder inflammation prevented him from making his season debut until August, during which he suffered a Grade 3 hamstring strain. He was able to make six more appearances before the end of the year, finishing with two earned runs allowed over 7.1 innings. The 26-year-old is now recovering from right shoulder labrum surgery and isn't expected back until after the All-Star break.

Impact The exact nature of the procedure and recovery time is not yet clear. Graterol made just seven appearances during the regular season due to a nagging shoulder issue, although he did return to pitch in the World Series. The 26-year-old will be in his third of four arbitration years this offseason.

On World Series roster Graterol (shoulder) was added to the Dodgers' World Series roster Friday, Eric Stephen of SBNation.com reports.

Impact Graterol has been out since the final week of the regular season due to right shoulder inflammation, but he's been throwing recently and has looked and felt well enough that the Dodgers felt comfortable included him on their roster for the Fall Classic.

Impact Graterol has thrown seven shutout innings since returning from the a hamstring injury Sept. 10, but he'll now officially miss the Dodgers' final four games as well as the first portion of the team's postseason run.

In a corresponding move, Ben Casparius was recalled from Triple-A Oklahoma City to fill the opening in Los Angeles' bullpen.

SEPTEMBER 26, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Activated from IL The Dodgers reinstated Graterol (hamstring) from the 15-day injured list Tuesday.

Impact Graterol will return from the injured list a day earlier than originally expected, taking the place of Anthony Banda (hand), who landed on the IL in a corresponding move. The 26-year-old Graterol allowed two earned runs in just one-third of an inning before leaving his season debut with a hamstring strain Aug. 6, so there's a good chance the Dodgers limit him to low-leverage outings until he's able to find his footing in the big leagues.

Expected back Wednesday Graterol (hamstring) will likely be activated from the 15-day injured list prior to Wednesday's game against the Cubs, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

Impact Graterol has been out since Aug. 7 after suffering a Grade 3 right hamstring strain, but he's expected to be cleared for the team's final game of the series Wednesday if all goes according to plan. It wouldn't be a surprise to see the club deploy the right-hander in a few low-leverage situations upon his return, as he's logged one-third of an inning so far this season dating back to Aug. 6 against Philly.

Impact Graterol will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Oklahoma City on Tuesday, and he may require only a couple of appearances with the affiliate before getting the green light to rejoin the Dodgers.

AUGUST 8, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Placed on injured list The Dodgers placed Graterol on the 15-day injured list Wednesday with a Grade 3 right hamstring strain.

Impact Graterol suffered the injury while making his season debut Tuesday, and although he hasn't yet been ruled out for the rest of the season, the timing and severity of his strain gives him a very low chance of pitching again in 2024. His spot on the active roster will be given to Michael Grove (ribs), who returned from the IL on Wednesday.

Impact Graterol has missed the entirety of the 2024 season to this point while nursing right shoulder inflammation, but he's now just one step away from returning to the major-league roster.

JULY 12, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Stops throwing program Graterol (shoulder) has stopped his throwing program due to his arm remaining sore and manager Dave Roberts stated, "It's going to be a long program" to get him back, Bill Plunkett...

Impact Graterol began a throwing progression in April to start recovering from his shoulder injury, but it appears recurring soreness will prohibit him from returning as early as hoped. The righty pitcher's time-table will likely look different now, and the hopeful outlook for a mid-May return seems less likely considering this news.
