Graterol Back Surgery Threatens Remainder of 2026 Season

The Dodgers reliever, already returning from 2024 shoulder surgery, now faces another major setback that could end his 2026 campaign.

Dodgers right-hander Brusdar Graterol had back surgery and is at risk of missing the entire remainder of the 2026 season. He had previously undergone shoulder surgery in November 2024 and missed all of 2025. Graterol has been plagued by injuries throughout his career, pitching just seven regular-season innings in 2024. Despite a strong 2.78 career ERA, he has accumulated only 190.2 innings across parts of six MLB seasons.

Hernández Out ~1 Month With Hamstring Strain

The Dodgers outfielder strained his left hamstring and is targeting a cautious recovery to avoid a lingering issue.

Teoscar Hernández sustained a Grade 1 strain of his left hamstring and was placed on the 10-day IL. He told reporters Saturday he anticipates missing roughly one month, though the mild grade of the injury leaves open the possibility of an earlier return. Hernández is wary of rushing back after a left groin injury last season became a persistent problem that hampered his performance. He finished 2024 with a .247/.284/.484 slash line, his worst output in six seasons.

MLB's proposed salary cap would gut Dodgers' $420M roster

Owners submitted their first hard cap proposal since 1994, a move that would require nine teams including LA to dramatically slash payrolls.

MLB owners formally proposed a $245.3 million hard salary cap to the Players Association on May 28, the first such proposal since 1994. The Dodgers carry the highest payroll in baseball at over $420 million for 2026, meaning they would need to shed roughly $175 million under the proposed structure. Eight other teams would also face mandatory payroll reductions, with total league-wide cuts estimated at $578 million. The proposal signals a contentious CBA negotiation ahead, raising the possibility of a work stoppage.
