Dodgers Pitching Staff Suffers Another Blow
3 Jun
Summary
- Brusdar Graterol's return is delayed by back surgery.
- Multiple Dodgers pitchers are currently injured.
- The team's pitching depth is being severely tested.
The Los Angeles Dodgers' pitching staff has been further depleted as Brusdar Graterol's comeback attempt has been halted by a back injury requiring surgery. This procedure is expected to keep him out for the remainder of the season, a significant blow for a pitcher who missed all of 2025 recovering from shoulder surgery.
Graterol's injury exacerbates the Dodgers' existing pitching woes. The team is currently managing a lengthy list of injured arms, including Tyler Glasnow, Edwin Díaz, Blake Snell, Ben Casparius, Gavin Stone, Landon Knack, and Jake Cousins. This widespread issue severely tests the team's pitching depth.
Despite the challenges, the Dodgers possess enough talent to navigate regular-season injuries better than most. However, Graterol was anticipated as a key late-season bullpen boost. His absence, along with others, means the team's depth is being tested more rigorously and earlier than expected.
