Scouting Report
Updated May 19, 2026
Brusdar Graterol suffered a significant setback during his rehab assignment in May 2026. After undergoing right shoulder/labrum surgery in late 2024 and missing the entire 2025 season, Graterol was attempting a comeback with Triple-A Oklahoma City. However, his back flared up during the rehab assignment, forcing him to be pulled and undergo imaging. His fastball velocity was also down approximately 3 mph in his last outing, a concerning sign for a pitcher who relies heavily on his hard-throwing ability. The setback has pushed back his return timeline significantly from the originally targeted early June return. Graterol has not pitched at the MLB level since Game 5 of the 2024 World Series.
Strengths
- + Elite fastball velocity when healthy (upper-90s)
- + Proven track record as crucial relief pitcher for Dodgers in 2024
- + Strong 2.45 ERA in 2024 regular season
- + Demonstrated resilience and determination to return
- + Manager Dave Roberts expressed confidence in his recovery process

- - Significant back injury setback during rehab assignment
- - Fastball velocity down 3+ mph from baseline
- - Extended absence from competition (hasn't pitched since Oct 2024 World Series)
- - Missed entire 2025 season due to shoulder surgery
- - Multiple injury complications over 2+ year period
- - Requires methodical buildup due to limited recent pitching
- - Uncertainty regarding return timeline and severity of back injury
- - Free agent status expires after 2026 season
Injury Status: IL-60
