Brusdar Graterol Fantasy Stats

Los Angeles Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said that the team is going to "slow play" relief pitcher Brusdar Graterol's (shoulder) ramp-up this spring, per Jack Harris of the California Post. Harris reports that Graterol's availability for Opening Day has yet to be determined, but that Roberts said Graterol is "going to take some time." Graterol was a dominant reliever in his last full season in 2023, posting a 1.20 ERA and 0.97 WHIP with 48 strikeouts and seven saves across 67 1/3 innings pitched. However, injuries limited him to just seven appearances in 2024 and sidelined him for the entirety of 2025. The Dodgers signed veteran closer Edwin Diaz over the offseason, and setup man Tanner Scott seems likely to take over the ninth inning if Diaz were to get hurt. As such, even a fully healthy Graterol appears to be blocked off from save chances in Los Angeles, further limiting his fantasy appeal in 2026.

Los Angeles Dodgers right-handed reliever Brusdar Graterol (shoulder) said that his shoulder has felt good for a couple of weeks, according to The Athletic's Fabian Ardaya. He is expected to start throwing bullpen sessions next week, and he also said that he's dropped 15 pounds over the last year. Graterol feels good physically, and he's expected to be fully ready for the start of spring training in just a couple of weeks. The 27-year-old did not pitch for the Dodgers at all last season after having labrum surgery in November of 2024. In his last full season in 2023, Graterol was excellent, posting a 1.20 ERA, 0.96 WHIP, a career-high seven saves, 48 strikeouts, and 12 walks in 67 1/3 innings. He won't be on the fantasy radar in most leagues entering the 2026 campaign, but if he stays healthy, he could return to a high-leverage setup role and attract interest in leagues that count holds.

According to Robert Murray of FanSided.com, right-handed pitcher Brusdar Graterol has avoided arbitration with the Dodgers and signed a one-year contract worth $2.8 million. Graterol was on the shelf during the 2025 season while recovering from the labrum surgery he underwent in 2024. During that season, he logged only 7 1/3 innings with the Dodgers and posted a 2.45 ERA. However, in 2023, he was a reliable high-leverage option in the Los Angeles bullpen, posting a 1.20 ERA, 0.97 WHIP, with a 48:12 K:BB across 67 1/3 innings. He tallied a career-best seven saves as well. While the 27-year-old does not project to see many save opportunities in 2026 with Edwin Diaz now in the bullpen, he could find value in deeper leagues that reward holds, pitching for the two-time reigning World Series Champions.

Los Angeles Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said that the chances of right-handed reliever Brusdar Graterol (shoulder) pitching this year are "slim." Graterol is at the team's spring training facilities in Arizona but hasn't resumed throwing as he continues to rehab from surgery that he had last November for a torn labrum in his right shoulder. The 26-year-old has been out all season and probably isn't going to be an option to help a beleaguered Dodgers bullpen down the stretch and into the postseason. The Venezuelan hurler had a combined 11 saves in 2022 and 2023 in L.A. but has managed to pitch in just seven big-league games the last two seasons, making him a non-tender candidate this winter. Graterol has a decent 2.78 ERA and 1.04 WHIP in his six major-league seasons, but it has also come with a strikeout rate under 20%.

Los Angeles Dodgers relief pitcher Brusdar Graterol (shoulder) is working through a throwing progression at the team's complex in Arizona, and it remains possible that he'll be able to return this season. He underwent right shoulder surgery on his labrum last November and has been on the sidelines all season. Graterol only appeared in seven games in 2024 with a 2.45 ERA and 8.59 K/9, but he did pitch well in the team's playoff run and in the World Series. The hard-throwing righty may be back to contribute again in the playoffs, but he still has a long way to go in his recovery.

Los Angeles Dodgers right-handed reliever Brusdar Graterol (shoulder) will not begin his throwing program for around another month, but he has vowed that he will pitch in 2025. Graterol also said he feels that he has "a new arm" this spring after having shoulder surgery last November to have his labrum and a ligament repaired. "Thank God it was not rotator cuff," Graterol said. Because the 26-year-old might not make his season debut until the second half, he can be avoided in fantasy, especially after the Dodgers upgraded their bullpen this offseason with the signings of closer candidates Tanner Scott and Kirby Yates. The Venezuelan hurler only made 10 relief appearances in the regular season and playoffs last year for the Blue because of his shoulder issues. In seven outings in the regular season, he allowed two earned runs while striking out seven and walking two.

Los Angeles Dodgers right-handed reliever Brusdar Graterol (shoulder) underwent right-shoulder surgery on his labrum on Thursday and was operated on by Dr. Neal ElAttrache. Graterol is expected to return to the mound in the second half of the 2025 season as a result. The 26-year-old made a return in the postseason to help the Dodgers win the World Series in October, but he missed the vast majority of the 2024 regular season due to right-shoulder issues. The Venezuelan reliever allowed two earned runs while walking two and striking out seven in 7 1/3 innings of work in just seven appearances in his sixth year in the big leagues. He had his best season in 2023, posting a 1.20 ERA with a career-high seven saves in 67 1/3 frames. Graterol will be off the fantasy radar next spring and won't return to LA until after the All-Star break.

Los Angeles Dodgers relief pitchers Alex Vesia (ribs) and Brusdar Graterol (shoulder), and infielder Miguel Rojas (hernia) are all on the team's roster for the World Series. Vesia hurt his rib cage in the NLDS and was left off the roster for the NLCS, but is ready to rock and will likely be used in high-leverage situations against lefties Juan Soto and Jazz Chisholm. Graterol (shoulder) hasn't pitched since landing on the IL in late September with right-shoulder inflammation, but has been working his way back and should be used in a high-leverage role after a dominant regular season. Rojas has already said he will need offseason surgery to repair a sports hernia, but will play through the injury and try to provide the Dodgers with stellar defense when he plays. Kevin Kiermaier, Evan Phillips (arm fatigue), and Edgardo Henriquez were removed from the World Series roster to make room for the trio.

Los Angeles Dodgers relief pitchers Brusdar Graterol (shoulder) and Joe Kelly (shoulder) will not be available to pitch in the NLCS, according to Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic. Graterol has been on the injured list since the end of September with right-shoulder inflammation. Kelly suffered a shoulder injury during a simulated game and has not taken the mound since Sept. 27. However, both pitchers could be in the mix to return in the World Series. The Dodgers will also likely be without Alex Vesia (back) in this series. As a result, DFS managers should expect Blake Treinen to see a majority of the save opportunities after picking up two in the NLDS, with Daniel Hudson, Evan Phillips, and Michael Kopech also having high-leverage roles.

Los Angeles Dodgers relief pitcher Brusdar Graterol (shoulder) was placed on the 15-day injured list on Thursday with right shoulder inflammation. Graterol will only be eligible to return if the Dodgers make it deep into the postseason. The 26-year-old missed most of the season due to a previous shoulder injury and made his 2024 debut on August 6. However, shortly after, he hit the IL again due to a hamstring injury. Since returning from that injury on September 10, he tossed seven clean frames with a near-perfect 0.43 WHIP. Through this small stint, Graterol typically pitched in high-leverage situations in the seventh and ninth innings. This is a tough blow to the Dodger bullpen as they approach the preseason with a starting rotation filled with injuries. Fantasy managers should expect Evan Phillips, Alex Vesia, Michael Kopech, and Daniel Hudson to serve as the late-inning options for the Dodgers during October.
