Back with club Friday Graterol (personal) is expected to return from the paternity list for Friday's game against the Cardinals, David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports.

Impact Graterol has been away from the Dodgers since Tuesday. The right-hander should be back for the series against St. Louis and pitching in a high-leverage role. Max Muncy is also expected back Friday for the Dodgers.

Goes on paternity leave Graterol was placed Tuesday on the paternity list.

Impact Graterol is likely to be excused for the Dodgers' entire three-game series in Pittsburgh. Evan Phillips is back Tuesday from his own paternity leave stint and figures to command the majority of the team's save chances this week.

Likely set for paternity leave The Dodgers are expected to place Graterol on the paternity list prior to Tuesday's series opener in Pittsburgh, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

Impact Graterol is one of two Dodgers players who is expected to skip the three-game series in Pittsburgh while awaiting the birth of a child, as Max Muncy (personal) has already been confirmed to be placed on the paternity list. The Dodgers haven't yet announced a replacement on the 26-man active roster for Graterol, but Los Angeles could activate Evan Phillips -- who was placed on the paternity list last Thursday -- in a corresponding move. Phillips should then have a clear path to closing duties throughout the series in Pittsburgh.

Nabs first save of campaign Graterol earned a save against the Cubs on Sunday, allowing three hits and no walks over two scoreless innings.

Impact Graterol got the call in the eighth inning with Los Angeles up by two runs. He gave up a two-out double but completed the scoreless frame on just 12 pitches. The Dodgers put up a pair of runs in the top of the ninth, and Graterol was allowed to finish off the win despite allowing two singles in the bottom of the frame. The save was his first of the season, and the outing extended his streak of appearances without allowing a run to six. Evan Phillips, who has two saves this season, wasn't with the team Sunday while on paternity leave, so it's not certain how manager Dave Roberts would have deployed the pair of relivers under normal circumstances. However, the team hasn't yet indicated a commitment to a full-time closer, so both Phillips and Graterol should be seen as candidates for ninth-inning duties for the time being.
