Kendall Graveman Fantasy Stats

Arizona Diamondbacks reliever Kendall Graveman (hip) will begin a rehab assignment in the Arizona Complex League on Tuesday, per MLB.com. Graveman was placed on the 15-day injured list on June 9 with a right hip impingement and also missed time earlier this season with a back injury. He's struggled in the 8 1/3 big-league innings he's logged so far in 2025, allowing eight earned runs and 14 hits. Graveman has been a trusted high-leverage arm at certain points in his career, but he'll need an extended run of health and solid performance to work his way into the late innings in Arizona.

Arizona Diamondbacks reliever Kendall Graveman (hip) threw live batting practice on Friday, according to MLB.com. Graveman was placed on the 15-day injured list on June 9 with a right hip impingement. It's been a difficult last couple of years for the veteran righty from an injury perspective. Graveman missed the entirety of 2024 after undergoing shoulder surgery, and also had a separate IL stint in March due to back tightness. In the 8 1/3 innings he's thrown for the Diamondbacks this season, Graveman has allowed eight earned runs and five walks while striking out just three. Arizona's bullpen needs high-leverage arms, but Graveman will have to prove he can stay healthy and regain prior form before he's an option in fantasy.

The Diamondbacks announced that they have placed right-hander Kendall Graveman (hip) on the 15-day injured list, retroactive to June 8, with a right hip impingement. The team recalled righty Christian Montes De Oca from Triple-A Reno in a corresponding move. While Graveman began the season on the IL with back problems, he made his season debut a few weeks ago and pitched well in eight appearances from May 13 to June 5. The 34-year-old allowed just two earned runs in that span, but the wheels came off Saturday in a 13-1 loss to the Cincinnati Reds. Graveman coughed up six earned runs on five hits and walked two during an inning of work. As a result, his ERA shot to 8.64 over 8 1/3 frames. He has also surrendered 14 hits and recorded more walks (five) than strikeouts (three).

The Arizona Diamondbacks announced on Monday that they reinstated right-handed reliever Kendall Graveman (back) from the 15-day injured list and designated left-hander Jose Castillo for assignment in a corresponding move. Graveman returns to the Diamondbacks big-league roster after making his third minor-league rehab appearance for the Triple-A Reno Aces on Friday, May 9, in an inning of work. The 34-year-old veteran will be making his 2025 debut when he gets into a game after recovering from a right lumbar strain that landed him on the IL to begin the season. The Diamondbacks are still currently without relievers Justin Martinez (shoulder) and A.J. Puk (elbow), but fantasy managers shouldn't expect Graveman to see any save chances upon his return after missing all of 2024 due to right-shoulder surgery. Expect him to be eased into a middle-relief role in the desert.

Arizona Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo said that right-handed reliever Kendall Graveman (back) will make a minor-league rehab appearance on Wednesday for Triple-A Reno. Graveman threw 1 2/3 scoreless innings at the rookie-level Arizona Complex League over the weekend to begin his minor-league rehab assignment and is now ready to face better competition. The 34-year-old veteran hurler has not pitched at all in 2025 due to a right lumbar strain in his back. However, barring a setback on his rehab assignment, Graveman appears poised to rejoin Arizona's bullpen soon to make his 2025 debut. The D-backs could certainly use him with both A.J. Puk (elbow) and Justin Martinez (shoulder) on the injured list, and Graveman could be in the mix for saves with Shelby Miller, Kevin Ginkel and Ryan Thompson when he returns. Graveman has 24 career saves in nine MLB seasons.

The Arizona Diamondbacks have placed pitcher Kendall Graveman (back) on the 15-day injured list (retroactive to March 24). Graveman has been dealing with back tightness this spring after missing the entirety of the 2024 season due to surgery on his shoulder. The veteran right-hander is set to resume throwing off a mound next week, but he's behind in his buildup, considering he didn't make any appearances this spring. He's been a useful bullpen arm over the past few seasons, registering an ERA of 3.18 or under from 2021-2023. It will be a little bit before Graveman returns to the mound.

According to manager Torey Lovullo, Arizona Diamondbacks pitcher Kendall Graveman (back) is still fighting a back injury and may not be ready for opening day. Alex Weiner of Arizona Sports reported the news. The 34-year-old faced live hitters on Tuesday and experienced more back tightness, jeopardizing his availability for the start of the season. Graveman has been working his way back to health after missing the entirety of the 2024 season due to shoulder surgery he underwent in the offseason. The news is not ideal, as Arizona signed the veteran on a one-year deal just a month ago to bolster their bullpen. Fortunately, the righty's imaging came back clean last week. Still, it's unclear when he'll be ready to go for the 2025 season

Arizona Diamondbacks right-handed pitcher Kendall Graveman (back) underwent imaging on his back. The imaging returned clean, which suggests he avoided a significant injury. Manager Torey Lovullo said, "There's nothing alarming enough for a major setback." Fantasy managers should continue to monitor his status as he will likely remain sidelined for a few days. However, the 34-year-old has plenty of time to increase his workload prior to Opening Day. Earlier in the offseason, the Snakes signed Graveman to a one-year $1.35 million contract. Last season, Graveman missed the entire 2024 campaign after undergoing surgery to repair a torn labrum. In 2023, Graveman logged 66 1/3 innings of work with a 3.12 ERA and a 1.31 WHIP. He tallied 66 strikeouts and added eight saves. When healthy, he will likely have a high-leverage role in the Arizona bullpen.

Arizona Diamondbacks right-handed reliever Kendall Graveman (back) is undergoing imaging after complaining of tightness in his back while throwing a bullpen session over the weekend. The results of Graveman's MRI exam will determine how much time he'll need to miss, and the 34-year-old veteran could certainly be in danger of missing Opening Day at the end of March. However, manager Torey Lovullo said the injury wasn't anything "too alarming." Still, Graveman didn't sign with Arizona until after the start of spring training and has yet to pitch in a Cactus League game. On top of that, he had surgery last January to fix a torn labrum and missed the entire 2024 campaign. If healthy in 2025, he could be in the mix for some high-leverage bullpen work for the Snakes, but it might be a stretch to expect him to return to his pre-injury form.

Free-agent reliever Kendall Graveman (shoulder) agreed with the Arizona Diamondbacks on Friday on a one-year deal worth $1.35 million, according to MLB.com's Steve Gilbert. The deal is pending a physical. If he reaches all of his incentives, the deal could be worth as much as $3.3 million. Graveman had right-shoulder surgery in January of last year to fix a torn labrum and to also clean up his rotator cuff, but the 34-year-old veteran right-hander is apparently fully healthy now and will give the D-backs an experienced veteran in the late innings in their bullpen in 2025. In nine big-league seasons with five different teams, Graveman has 24 saves while also posting a 3.95 ERA, 1.33 WHIP, 17.8% strikeout rate and 7.9% walk rate. He didn't become a full-time reliever until 2021. Justin Martinez and A.J. Puk should soak up most of the save chances in Arizona.
