Dodgers Reliever Brusdar Graterol Out for Season with Grade 3 Hamstring Strain

Injury Announced After Teary Exit

Los Angeles Dodgers reliever Brusdar Graterol's season has come to an abrupt end following a heartbreaking injury during Tuesday's game. The right-hander was removed from the mound in evident pain, and the Dodgers later announced that he had suffered a right hamstring strain.

Grade 3 Strain Confirms Season-Ending Diagnosis

According to Dodgers manager Dave Roberts, Graterol's hamstring strain was graded as a Grade 3, the most severe type. This typically results in a significant recovery period, effectively ending Graterol's season.

The Dodgers had been optimistic about Graterol's return to form after he missed most of the year with a shoulder injury. However, this latest setback has dealt a major blow to the team's bullpen.

Graterol's injury will test the depth of the Dodgers' relief corps as they navigate the remaining stretch of the regular season and prepare for the playoffs. The team is expected to rely more heavily on other relievers, including Blake Treinen, Tommy Kahnle, and Evan Phillips.
