The Los Angeles Dodgers received positive news regarding reliever Brusdar Graterol, who has yet to pitch for the club this season.
Manager Dave Roberts addressed the media ahead of the Dodgers' Sunday night game against the Yankees and said that Graterol has progressed in his throwing program far enough to throw a bullpen session at Camelback Ranch this week.
Graterol has been out all season with shoulder pain and this is the first positive news we've heard in quite some time.Dave Roberts -- Brusdar Graterol has progressed in his throwing program far enough to throw a bullpen session at CBR this week. Graterol has been out all season with shoulder pain.
Neither Roberts nor the Dodgers have ever given a timeline for Graterol's return but they have indicated that it would be a “long program” to get Graterol back on a big league mound. The Dodgers' bullpen has been great without Graterol, so the right-hander would add valuable depth when he's finally cleared. He was a major part of the bullpen last season, throwing 67.1 innings with a 1.20 ERA.Maren Angus-Coombs was born in Los Angeles and raised in Nashville, Tenn.
