BRUSDAR GRATEROL NEWS

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. The hard thrower is capable of handling high-leverage innings, although the club might not throw him right into such situations.

Unavailable for NLCS Graterol (shoulder) is unavailable for the NLCS against the Mets, Eric Stephen of SBNation.com reports.

Impact Graterol was placed on the injured list Sept. 26 and has apparently made little progress toward a return. Manager Dave Roberts didn't offer an opinion as to whether Graterol would be available if the Dodgers advance to the World Series.

OCTOBER 13 • ROTOWIRE

Placed on injured list The Dodgers placed Graterol on the 15-day injured list Thursday with right shoulder inflammation, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

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. Shoulder problems caused the 26-year-old righty to miss the entire first half of the season, though the severity of his latest injury remains unknown. In a corresponding move, Ben Casparius was recalled from Triple-A Oklahoma City to fill the opening in Los Angeles' bullpen.

SEPTEMBER 26 • 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.

SEPTEMBER 11 • ROTOWIRE

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.

SEPTEMBER 9 • ROTOWIRE

Expected to be activated from IL Manager Dave Roberts said Saturday that Graterol (hamstring) is expected to be activated off the 15-day injured list in the next couple of days, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic repor...

Impact Graterol threw one scoreless inning in his last rehab outing with Triple-A Oklahoma City on Friday. He's been on the injured list since Aug. 7 due to a Grade 1 hamstring strain, but he appears to be ready to return to the Dodgers' bullpen. Graterol began the season on the injured list with right shoulder inflammation, and his lone appearance with the big club came Aug. 6 against the Phillies, when he gave up two runs on one hit and one walk over 0.1 frames.

SEPTEMBER 7 • ROTOWIRE

Could be back Friday Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said that Graterol (hamstring) could return from the 15-day injured list as soon as Friday, David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports.

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. The right-hander opened the season on the IL due to right shoulder inflammation before being activated Aug. 5, only to strain his right hamstring in his first appearance of the season for Los Angeles.

SEPTEMBER 2 • ROTOWIRE

Facing hitters Saturday Manager Dave Roberts said Friday that Graterol (hamstring) will throw to live hitters Saturday, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

Impact After throwing a pair of bullpen sessions, Graterol has been cleared to face live hitters Saturday. Graterol got up to 30 pitches in a bullpen Wednesday, and doesn't seem far off from returning. It's unclear if the Dodgers plan on restarting Graterol's rehab assignment that was paused at the beginning of August.

AUGUST 30 • ROTOWIRE

Completes fielding drills Graterol (hamstring) did fielding drills, including covering first base, Thursday, David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports.

Impact Graterol has been ramping up his activity throughout the week, as he also threw a bullpen session Wednesday. He's expected to throw a simulated game this weekend and should head out on a rehab assignment shortly thereafter.

AUGUST 30 • ROTOWIRE

Throws bullpen session Graterol (hamstring) threw a 30-pitch bullpen session Wednesday, Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register reports.

Impact Graterol threw his first bullpen session Saturday, and he appears to have already built up to a proper reliever's workload. The 26-year-old remains on track to begin a rehab assignment over the weekend, though it's still unclear how many minor-league innings he'll need to pitch before returning to Los Angeles' bullpen.

AUGUST 28 • ROTOWIRE

Nearing rehab assignment Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said Sunday that Graterol is expected to begin a rehab assignment next weekend, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

Impact The right-hander threw a bullpen session Saturday and is likely to throw another before reporting to a minor-league affiliate. Graterol landed on the shelf in early August due to a hamstring strain, which he suffered while making his season debut.

AUGUST 25 • ROTOWIRE

Nearing bullpen session Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said Sunday that Graterol (hamstring) will throw a bullpen session soon, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

Impact The right-hander landed on the shelf with a Grade 1 hamstring strain in early August, and he's making a relatively quick return to mound work. Graterol suffered the injury during his season debut after he missed the first four months of the campaign due to a shoulder injury.

AUGUST 18 • ROTOWIRE

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.

AUGUST 8 • 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.

AUGUST 7 • ROTOWIRE

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.

AUGUST 7 • ROTOWIRE

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 • 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.

AUGUST 6 • ROTOWIRE

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 • 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 • 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 • 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 • 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 • 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 • 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 • 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.
