Los Angeles Dodgers reliever Brusdar Graterol underwent surgery on his right shoulder and will be out until the middle of the 2025 season.
Graterol required a labrum repair last week and won’t begin a throwing program for several weeks.
The right-hander battled multiple injuries last season but was able to return and pitch 2 1/3 innings against the New York Yankees in the World Series.
The 26-year-old Graterol is one of the Dodgers’ top bullpen arms but endured an injury-plagued 2024 season during which he made only seven appearances.
After missing the first half of the season with a shoulder injury, Graterol finally made his season debut Aug. 6 and threw eight pitches before straining a hamstring and returning to the IL. He returned on Sept. 10 and tossed seven scoreless innings in six appearances in September before his shoulder flared up again, resulting in another IL stint to end the regular season.
Graterol has a lifetime 2.78 ERA with 11 saves in 188 games (five starts) for the Minnesota Twins (2019) and Dodgers (2020-24).
