Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said Friday that Graterol (shoulder) is in a "holding pattern," Jack Harris of the California Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

Though Roberts has refrained from referring to Graterol's ongoing shoulder issues as a setback, it's difficult to categorize them as anything else. The reliever missed the entire 2025 season following a November 2024 procedure, and he hasn't been able to regain his pre-surgery velocity. Graterol has already been ruled out for Opening Day and he could be looking at a lengthy absence.

Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said Wednesday that Graterol (shoulder) will not be ready in time for Opening Day, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Graterol has been built up slowly this spring after missing all of the 2025 season following November 2024 right shoulder surgery. His velocity crept up during his last bullpen session, but it's still not where it needs to be in order for Graterol to be effective. The 27-year-old is entering his walk year, so Graterol has financial incentive to stay healthy and have a bounce-back season, but he's a wild card in terms of what the Dodgers can expect out of him in 2026.

Manager Dave Roberts said Saturday that it will take some time to build Graterol (shoulder) up this spring, Sonja Chen of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Graterol missed all of 2025 while recovering from a shoulder procedure he underwent in November 2024. He threw a bullpen session Friday, but Roberts noted that the 27-year-old's velocity "wasn't near where it's going to be." The team's plan to slow Graterol's rehab down could delay his Cactus League debut, and it's unclear if he'll be ready to go by Opening Day.

Graterol (shoulder) signed a one-year, $2.8 million contract with the Dodgers on Wednesday to avoid arbitration, Robert Murray of FanSided.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Graterol sat out the entirety of the 2025 season after undergoing labrum surgery in November 2024, but he is expected to be fully healthy by the time spring training begins. The 27-year-old emerged as a dominant high-leverage option during his last full season in 2023, during which he posted a 1.20 ERA and 0.97 WHIP across 67.1 innings. However, the Dodgers may wait to see how he performs in his first several appearances post-surgery before moving him back into a setup role.

Dodgers general manager Brandon Gomes has said that Graterol (shoulder) will be "full-go" for spring training, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Graterol missed the entire 2025 season following November 2024 labrum surgery on his right shoulder. He experienced a setback with the shoulder during the second half, but it appears the hard-throwing reliever is back on track now. Graterol has hardly pitched the last two seasons because of injury, but he held a 1.20 ERA over 68 appearances in 2023, his last full season.

Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said Wednesday that Graterol (shoulder) is unlikely to return from the 60-day injured list this season, MLB writer Mike DiGiovanna reports.

EDGE Analysis

Graterol has been out all season after undergoing labrum surgery on his right shoulder last November. Roberts noted that Graterol is not currently throwing, suggesting the hurler suffered a setback at some point. Graterol will be eligible for salary arbitration for a final time this offseason, but he could be a non-tender candidate, given his checkered history on the health front.

Graterol (shoulder) is going through a throwing progression at the Dodgers' complex in Arizona, per MLB.com.

EDGE Analysis

Graterol continues to rehab from the shoulder labrum surgery he underwent last November. The fireballing reliever is hoping to return to the Dodgers' bullpen before the end of the season, but he probably won't be able to do so any earlier than September.

Graterol (shoulder) has resumed throwing and is hoping to go on a minor-league rehab assignment sometime in August, per MLB.com.

EDGE Analysis

Graterol underwent right shoulder labrum surgery last November and only recently resumed throwing. The fireballing reliever still has a lengthy rehab ahead of him, but if he's able to participate in minor-league games in August, as hoped, he could join the Dodgers' bullpen for the final month of the regular season. That would set Graterol up to be a factor for Los Angeles during the postseason, where he has so far thrived -- through 24.1 career playoff innings, the right-hander holds a 1.85 ERA and 0.86 WHIP.

Graterol (shoulder) was placed on the 60-day injured list Monday, Sonja Chen of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Graterol has yet to begin throwing after undergoing surgery in November to repair his right labrum and a right shoulder ligament, so this move is simply procedural. A timetable for his return has yet to be established.

Graterol (shoulder) said Friday that he's about a month away from beginning a throwing program, Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register reports.

EDGE Analysis

Graterol underwent surgery in November to repair his labrum and a ligament in his right shoulder and said Friday he feels like he has "a new arm." It's difficult to get any gauge on when he might be ready to pitch until he ramps up his throwing, but the right-handed reliever is confident he can be a contributor in the second half.
