Dodgers' Brusdar Graterol to Miss First Half of 2025 Season

The relief pitcher undergoes shoulder surgery, sidelining him for the start of the next MLB season.

Brusdar Graterol underwent surgery to repair the labrum in his right shoulder, performed by Dr. Neal ElAttrache.
The 26-year-old pitcher was limited to seven regular-season appearances in 2024 due to injuries.
Graterol's absence highlights the Dodgers' need to strengthen their bullpen, especially after Daniel Hudson's retirement.
During the 2024 World Series, Graterol made three appearances, contributing to the Dodgers' victory over the Yankees.
Potential free-agent targets for the Dodgers include Tanner Scott, Jeff Hoffman, Clay Holmes, and Aroldis Chapman.
