Brusdar Graterol - Page 2 - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Dealing with Grade 1 strain Roberts said Wednesday that Graterol is dealing with a Grade 1 strain in his right hamstring, Juan Toribio of MLB.com reports.

Impact Graterol was initially believed to have suffered a Grade 3 strain during his outing Tuesday, but the Dodgers skipper corrected his previous statements Wednesday. The news gives the 25-year-old reliever a significantly greater chance of pitching again for the Dodgers this season, though it remains unclear how far he is from a return.

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.

Nursing Grade 3 hamstring strain Graterol has been diagnosed with a Grade 3 right hamstring strain after being removed from Tuesday's appearance against the Phillies, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

Impact Graterol was making his season debut after missing the first four months with a shoulder injury. Now he will be sidelined again indefinitely, with Ardaya writing that the chances of the reliever returning before the end of the season are "slim." Graterol posted a 1.20 ERA and recorded seven saves in 2023 for the Dodgers.

Exits with leg injury Graterol was removed from Tuesday's game against the Philies with an apparent hamstring injury, Mike DiGiovanna of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Impact Graterol was grabbing at his right hamstring and had to be helped off the field by a trainer after throwing just eight pitches in the sixth inning of Tuesday's contest. The 25-year-old had been making his season debut after missing the first five months of the season due to a shoulder injury.

AUGUST 7, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Returns from injured list Graterol (shoulder) was activated from the 60-day injured list ahead of Monday's game against the Phillies, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

Impact Graterol joined the club earlier in the day after finishing up a rehab assignment with Triple-A Oklahoma City, and he'll be available out of the bullpen Monday evening following this latest move. The 25-year-old has yet to appear in a big-league game this season but was excellent a year ago for LA, posting a 1.20 ERA and 0.97 WHIP with a 48:10 K:BB and seven saves in eight chances over 67.1 frames.

With team, activation coming soon Graterol (shoulder) returned from his rehab assignment with Triple-A Oklahoma City on Monday and has a "good chance" of being activated from the injured list this week, Fabian Ard...

Impact Graterol has completed eight minor-league rehab appearances and has joined the Dodgers in Los Angeles. It's unclear when exactly he'll be available to pitch for the team, but he's trending toward being reinstated during the Dodgers' six-game homestand that begins Monday against Philadelphia. Graterol has yet to make his 2024 debut for the Dodgers.

AUGUST 5, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Nearing return Graterol (shoulder) will likely need at least 2-to-3 more rehab outings before rejoining Los Angeles' bullpen, per MLB.com.

Impact Graterol is five outings into a rehab stint that has included two games with the Dodgers' ACL affiliate and three with Triple-A Oklahoma City. He's given up two runs (one earned) on six hits while posting a 3:0 K:BB across five innings during his assignment thus far. Graterol hasn't pitched in the majors this season, but he could rise up to high-leverage work eventually if he proves effective upon his return.

JULY 27, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Rehab transferred to Triple-A Graterol had his rehab assignment transferred to Triple-A Oklahoma City and he's expected to pitch in Sunday's contest against Round Rock, Alex Freedman reports.

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. The 25-year-old will likely make multiple appearances with Oklahoma City and if all goes well, he could return to the Dodgers' bullpen before the end of July.

JULY 21, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Makes second rehab appearance Graterol (shoulder) completed his second rehab appearance Tuesday in the rookie-level Arizona Complex League, tossing one inning and giving up one earned run on two hits.

Impact Graterol could move his rehab assignment to a higher-level affiliate shortly after the All-Star break and could be ready to return from the 60-day injured list by the end of July if he's able to avoid any setbacks in his subsequent minor-league appearances. The right-hander has been on the shelf all season after experiencing shoulder inflammation during spring training.

JULY 17, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Could return after All-Star break Manager Dave Roberts said Friday that Graterol (shoulder) could be back on the team by the end of July, Jack Harris of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Impact Graterol has been on the shelf the entire season due to right shoulder inflammation, but the 25-year-old right-hander is nearing a rehab assignment and could be back with the big club shortly after the All-Star break. He appeared in 68 games for the Dodgers last season, posting a 1.20 ERA and 0.97 WHIP over 67.1 innings while recording seven saves.

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.

APRIL 24, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Not close to returning Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said Thursday that Graterol (shoulder) is "a ways away" from a return, Eric Stephen of SBNation.com reports.

Impact Graterol landed on the injured list with right shoulder inflammation prior to the team's series against the Padres in South Korea. It would appear his absence could be an extended one, although Roberts didn't offer up much specificity.

MARCH 28, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Unavailable for South Korea series Graterol is dealing with shoulder discomfort and hip tightness and won't travel to South Korea with the Dodgers for the season-opening series against the Padres on March 20-21, Fab...

Impact Graterol has made just one game appearance thus far during spring training and is expected to resume throwing Tuesday, so he won't be ready with the season-opening international series little more than a week away. The right-hander still hopes to be ready for the first stateside game of the season March 28, but it's a tight timeline for him to be built up in time.

MARCH 10, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Settles with Dodgers Graterol signed a one-year, $2.7 million contract with the Dodgers on Thursday to avoid arbitration, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

Impact Graterol is in his second year of arbitration and doubled his salary from 2023. He posted a career-high 67.1 innings last season and maintained a 1.20 ERA and 0.97 WHIP with a 48:12 K:BB across 67.1 innings. Graterol could enter the closer picture in 2024, though Evan Phillips will enter the year as the favorite for save chances.

JANUARY 12, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Grabs seventh save Graterol allowed a hit and a walk while striking out one over a scoreless inning to earn the save in Sunday's 3-1 win over Atlanta.

Impact Graterol allowed multiple baserunners for the third time in his last six outings, but he was able to extend his scoreless streak to 16.1 innings. Both Graterol and Evan Phillips pitched Saturday, so this appears to be a managerial choice from Dave Roberts to give Graterol the ninth inning in this contest. The right-hander has a 1.38 ERA, 1.07 WHIP and 43:11 K:BB with seven saves and 17 holds through 58.2 innings this year while operating as part of the Dodgers' successful high-leverage mix.

SEPTEMBER 4, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Secures 17th hold Graterol earned a hold over the Red Sox on Friday, allowing two hits and striking out two batters over 1.2 scoreless innings.

Impact Graterol has picked up two saves since Aug. 10, but he remains a secondary closing option for Los Angeles behind Evan Phillips. However, Graterol has emerged as a shutdown high-leverage weapon for manager Dave Roberts, racking up 12 straight scoreless appearances and yielding just one run over 25.2 innings since June 21. The fireballing right-hander has just 17 strikeouts during that span, but he's posted a 0.90 WHIP and notched two wins, three saves and 10 holds. Phillips has also been solid and is in no danger of losing his closing job, so Graterol's fantasy value is mostly limited to leagues that count holds, though he could pick up a few more saves down the stretch.

AUGUST 26, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Nabs sixth save Graterol allowed two hits in a scoreless inning to earn the save in a 3-1 win over the Marlins in the second game of Saturday's doubleheader.

Impact Evan Phillips was called on for a save in the matinee, allowing Graterol a chance to close out the nightcap. This was Graterol's 10th straight scoreless outing, and he's allowed just one run across 19 innings dating back to June 27. The right-hander also has two saves in his last four appearances after going six weeks between save chances. For the season, Graterol has six saves, 16 holds, a 1.53 ERA, 1.08 WHIP and 38:9 K:BB through 53 innings as a strong late-inning presence, though Phillips is still the favorite to close for the Dodgers.

AUGUST 20, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Grabs save Thursday Graterol earned a save against the Rockies on Thursday, striking out one batter in a perfect inning.

Impact Evan Phillips has emerged as the Dodgers' primary closer this season, but he wasn't deployed Thursday after pitching each of the previous two days. Manager Dave Roberts instead turned to Graterol to close things out with Los Angeles clinging to a one-run ninth-inning lead, and the right-hander did so with ease, retiring the side in order on 13 pitches. Graterol has been outstanding as mostly a setup man this season, posting a 1.62 ERA, 1.10 WHIP and 37:9 K:BB over 50 frames while collecting 14 holds and five saves.

AUGUST 11, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Pitches on consecutive days Graterol earned a hold against the Angels on Friday, allowing one hit and striking out one batter in a scoreless inning.

Impact Early in the week, Graterol was nursing an arm issue that kept him out a few days and reportedly resulted in the Dodgers considering placing him on the injured list. However, the righty reliever returned to action with a hold in a scoreless frame Thursday and did the same Friday, so it's now clear that the injury was minor. Graterol has been a key part of Los Angeles' bullpen this year, notching 10 holds and four saves while compiling a 1.85 ERA, 1.18 WHIP and 29:6 K:BB over 39.0 innings.

JULY 8, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Avoids injured list Graterol will avoid the injured list after suffering from an arm issue earlier in the week, Mike DiGiovanna of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Impact Graterol has been unavailable for the last few days and there was some fear he'd be forced to the injured list. However, he threw prior to Thursday's game against the Pirates and was cleared for game action. With Daniel Hudson (knee) out for the long term, Graterol could be in line for a share of the Dodgers' saves along with Evan Phillips.

JULY 7, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Nursing arm issue Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said after Wednesday's win over the Pirates that Graterol has been unavailable the last couple days due to an arm issue, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic...

Impact The specifics of the injury aren't available at this time. The team will check on Graterol on Thursday to see if he can be available. If he can't, he could be placed on the injured list. Graterol has notched for saves for the Dodgers this season as one of their primary late-inning relief weapons.

JULY 6, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Picks up fourth save Graterol picked up the save Friday against Houston. He tossed a perfect inning with no strikeouts.

Impact Graterol continues his career year, as his 2.18 ERA will be his best mark by far if he can end the season around that number. The right-hander's four saves are already tied for the most he's had in a season as well. The veteran is also red-hot as of late, as he's coughed up earned runs in just two of his last 19 appearances.

JUNE 24, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Tosses two scoreless innings Graterol walked one and struck out three over two scoreless and hitless innings as the opener in Wednesday's 2-0 win over the Angels. He did not factor in the decision.

Impact Michael Grove was initially expected to serve as a bulk reliever, but the Dodgers changed plans on the fly to make this a full-blown bullpen game. Graterol's role as the opener this time kept him out of the running for the win, but he was strong while matching his longest outing of the season. The right-hander had given up seven runs (three earned) over his previous 7.1 innings. For the season, he has a 2.25 ERA, 1.19 WHIP and 27:4 K:BB through 32 innings while frequently filling a late-inning role.

JUNE 22, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Serving as opener Wednesday Graterol will serve as the Dodgers' opener Wednesday versus the Angels, Mike DiGiovanna of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Impact Michael Grove was expected to get the start, but he'll instead operate in bulk relief. This will be the first opener assignment of the year for Graterol, who has pitched to an excellent 2.40 ERA and 24:3 K:BB in 30 innings (32 appearances) out of the Dodgers' bullpen.

JUNE 21, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Records four-out save Graterol allowed one hit while throwing 1.1 scoreless innings Monday. He struck out one batter and picked up a save over Atlanta.

Impact Graterol allowed an inherited runner to score in the eighth inning but retired the next four batters he faced to close out the 8-6 win. It was his first save since April 29 and he's up to three on the year with a 2-1 record and five holds. Graterol lowered his ERA to 2.29 with his sixth straight scoreless appearance. Evan Phillips pitched a scoreless frame and earned a win Monday.
