Dodgers' Brusdar Graterol to Miss Opening Day Amid Shoulder Recovery

AutoDraft Pro AI

Dodgers manager Dave Roberts announced that reliever Brusdar Graterol will miss Opening Day as he continues recovery from shoulder surgery for a torn labrum. The team is taking a cautious approach after Graterol struggled to dial up his velocity in early spring training sessions. Graterol, who boasts a 2.78 career ERA, missed all of last season due to the injury and is on an intentionally slow build-up, adding to the Dodgers' bullpen concerns alongside Brock Stewart and Evan Phillips.
