The Dodgers placed Stone (shoulder) on the 15-day injured list Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Stone experienced a setback with his surgically repaired right shoulder early in spring training and was shut down from throwing, though he's now considered pain-free and should start playing catch soon, per MLB.com. While recent imaging on Stone's shoulder revealed nothing more than inflammation, the Dodgers are expected to take a deliberate approach with the right-hander. The Dodgers are leaving the door open for Stone to return from the IL during the first half, though a more precise target date for his activation won't become clearer until he's ready to go on a minor-league rehab assignment.

Stone (shoulder) said Sunday that he hopes to begin playing catch next week, David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports.

EDGE Analysis

The right-hander was shut down in early March after being diagnosed with inflammation in his surgically repaired right shoulder, so it will take him some time to build his arm back up. Stone is hoping he can get back to mound work within the next month, which will likely push his return timeline into at least May.

Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said Tuesday that Stone was diagnosed with inflammation in his right shoulder after undergoing an MRI and will be shut down from throwing for at least a couple weeks, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

The 27-year-old will have a delayed start to the season, but it's encouraging that the MRI showed no structural damage after he suffered a setback with his surgically repaired right shoulder. Assuming Stone is able to ramp his throwing program back up after a couple weeks, he could be fully cleared before the end of April. He could be ticketed for Triple-A Oklahoma City once healthy.

Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said Monday that Stone has experienced a "setback" with his surgically repaired right shoulder and will have his throwing program "paused," Jack Harris of the California Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

Stone missed the entire 2025 season following surgery to repair a full capsule tear and partial tears of the labrum and rotator cuff. The shoulder bothered him during his Cactus League debut last week and again during a subsequent bullpen session. There is no timetable for when Stone will resume throwing. Stone had been in competition for a spot in the Dodgers' rotation, but he will not be ready for Opening Day now and could be facing an extended absence.

Stone (shoulder) threw a bullpen session at spring training Tuesday, Sonja Chen of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Stone missed the entirety of the 2025 season while recovering from right shoulder surgery, but he's healthy entering camp, and Dodgers GM Brandon Gomes said over the winter that he expected Stone to be ready for spring training. Stone's presence on the mound confirms that, and the right-hander should have a normal buildup this spring. Stone is tentatively expected to begin the 2026 season in the minors.

Dodgers general manager Brandon Gomes said during last week's GM Meetings that Stone (shoulder) will be ready for spring training and have a "normal" buildup, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

EDGE Analysis

Stone missed the entire 2025 campaign while recovering from right shoulder surgery. The operation involved the repair of a full capsule tear and partial tears of the labrum and rotator cuff, so it's uncertain how Stone's stuff will bounce back from such a major operation. However, at least at this time, he appears to be in line for a relatively normal spring training. Given the Dodgers' rotation depth and Stone's long layoff, the 27-year-old is likely to begin the 2026 campaign in the minors.

Stone (shoulder) was placed on the 60-day injured list by the Dodgers on Tuesday, Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register reports.

EDGE Analysis

Stone was already expected to miss the entirety of the 2025 season after undergoing right shoulder surgery in October, so his move to the 60-day IL was an expected one. The transaction cleared a spot for Enrique Hernandez to join the 40-man roster after the Dodgers and Hernandez officially agreed on a one-year, $6.5 million contract Tuesday.

Stone underwent right shoulder surgery Wednesday and is likely to miss the entire 2025 season, Juan Toribio of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Stone was initially sidelined with right shoulder inflammation in early September and was unable to return. He'll now likely be sidelined for all of 2025 after posting a promising 3.53 ERA and 1.21 WHIP with a 116:37 K:BB across 140.1 innings in 2024.

Stone (shoulder) was transferred to the 60-day injured list Tuesday, Matthew Moreno of DodgerBlue.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Stone was already expected to miss the remainder of the 2024 regular season, and his move to the 60-day IL opens up a spot for Edgardo Henriquez on the 40-man roster. Stone is still working his way back from right shoulder inflammation, and he'll now be unavailable for the postseason.

Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said Wednesday that it's "very unlikely" Stone (shoulder) will return from the 15-day injured list this season, Jack Harris of the Los Angeles Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Stone had been scheduled to begin a throwing program this past weekend, but that didn't happen, as he's yet to pick up a ball due to continued soreness in his right shoulder. The right-hander has missed all of September with shoulder inflammation. Stone's continued absence is yet another blow to a Dodgers rotation that's been decimated by injuries.
