Brusdar Graterol

Graterol is ready to role, and the question now is when the 26-year-old comes back. The answer to that question was provided -- sort of -- by Dave Roberts, as the Dodgers manager told reporters that he could be back Sunday or Monday; depending on the bullpen usage in the games before. Graterol will be a mid-to-late innings option for the Los Angeles bullpen whenever he is back on the bump.

Graterol is working his way back from a hamstring strain, the latest in a series of injuries in 2024 for the 26-year-old. He was able to face live hitters in a simulated game Saturday, and he'd be a welcome addition to a bullpen that needs the added depth. Graterol won't have fantasy value without saves in the majority of leagues.

The 26-year-old right-hander has missed most of the season due to a variety of injuries. This time around, he has been shelved since August 7 due to a right hamstring strain. If he's able to avoid any further setbacks, he should be ready to rejoin the Dodgers' bullpen at some point in mid-to-late September.

Graterol has been snake-bitten by injuries this season, which have limited the hard-throwing reliever to just one appearance in the big leagues. The 26-year-old landed back on the shelf in early August with a right hamstring strain. He's several weeks away from a potential return, but there's a chance he's back before the end of September.
