Brusdar Graterol Dealing With Grade 1 Hamstring Strain
3 months agoUpdating a previous report, Los Angeles Dodgers manager Dave Roberts corrected himself on Wednesday in saying that right-handed reliever Brusdar Graterol (hamstring) suffered a Grade 1 right-hamstring strain in his season debut on Tuesday night against the Philadelphia Phillies. Initially, Roberts mentioned it was a Grade 3 strain. The Dodgers remain hopeful that Graterol can help the team again this season, especially since a Grade 1 strain is much less severe than the Grade 3 variety. The 25-year-old was in tears on Tuesday night and was seen in the clubhouse after the game on crutches, but he does still have a shot to return again in 2024, especially with the Dodgers a pretty good bet to be in the postseason. Still, not having Graterol for essentially the entire regular season, is a big blow to LA's bullpen. When healthy, he's one of Roberts' favorite late-inning, high-leverage arms.
