Brusdar Graterol Stats

Los Angeles Dodgers relief pitcher Brusdar Graterol recorded his fifth save of the season on Thursday, closing out the Colorado Rockies in a 2-1 victory. Graterol pitched a clean ninth, striking out one while not allowing a baserunner. The 24-year-old has been terrific this season in a high-leverage role, pitching to a 1.62 ERA and 1.10 WHIP with 37 strikeouts over 50 IP. Evan Phillips is the clear closer in L.A., but if he falters or gets hurt Graterol should step into the ninth-inning role. For now, the latter will have to settle for a bunch of holds and the occasional save when Phillips needs a night off. Graterol should be rostered in deeper leagues and leagues where holds count.

Los Angeles Dodgers relief pitcher Brusdar Graterol (shoulder), who has been dealing with a sore right shoulder, will not be placed on the injured list. He threw off a bullpen mound on Thursday and was deemed OK. It's good news for the Dodgers bullpen after they learned earlier on Thursday that right-hander Daniel Hudson will miss extended time due to a sprained MCL in his right knee. The 24-year-old hard-throwing right-hander has been outstanding for the Dodgers and fantasy managers this year, even though he hasn't been the team's primary closer. In 38 appearances (one start), he's posted a strong 1.95 ERA (3.10 FIP), 1.19 WHIP, four saves, six walks and 27 strikeouts in 37 innings. Graterol should continue see the occasional save chance when Evan Phillips needs rest.

Los Angeles Dodgers right-hander Brusdar Graterol (arm) has been unavailable the last couple of games as he's been dealing with an arm issue, according to Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic. Manager Dave Roberts said the team will see if he can pitch Thursday, but there's a chance he might need time on the injured list. Graterol is one of the club's late-innings arms and has pitched to an impressive 1.95 ERA, 1.19 WHIP, and 18.0% strikeout rate with four saves and eight holds over 37 innings. Most of the 24-year-old's value comes in save and holds leagues, so fantasy managers in those formats should stay updated on his status.
