AI Summary
Dodgers pitcher Brusdar Graterol will be shut down due to a back issue that has emerged during his rehab assignment from a previous shoulder injury. His velocity was significantly down in his latest outing, and he is unlikely to return this season.
Graterol was pulled off a rehab assignment over the weekend to undergo further evaluation and imaging after his velocity was down significant in his latest outing. The 27-year-old flamethrower hasn't pitched in the majors since 2024 and it's looking highly unlikely he'll make it back this season. He's been working his way back from shoulder issues before this most recent back issue flared up. Not good.
