Dodgers' Brusdar Graterol Signs $2.8M Deal, Returns After Shoulder Surgery

Dodgers reliever Brusdar Graterol has finalized a one-year, $2.8 million contract, successfully avoiding salary arbitration. This deal marks his return to the bullpen for the upcoming season after missing all of 2025 due to shoulder labrum surgery in November 2024. The 27-year-old right-hander's salary matches his 2024 earnings. Graterol, who posted a career-best 1.20 ERA in 2023, was limited to just seven appearances in 2024 due to shoulder inflammation and a hamstring strain, though he did pitch in three World Series games. He is set to become a free agent after the 2026 season.
