Dodgers' Graterol Sent to Minors After Leg Injury

Relief Pitcher Suffered Right Leg Pain After Eighth Pitch

Los Angeles Dodgers relief pitcher Brusdar Graterol has been assigned to the Rochester Red Wings of the Triple-A International League after suffering a right leg injury on Sunday night.

Emotional Moment with Mother

Graterol, who was the Dodgers' bullpen MVP last season, was emotional after the game as he shared a moment with his mother, Ysmalia. The injury occurred in the eighth inning of the Dodgers' game against the Mariners when Graterol felt pain after throwing just eight pitches.

Career-High Innings Pitched

Graterol had avoided the injured list in 2023 and had pitched a career-high 671 innings across 68 games. His 1.20 ERA last season was a major contributor to the Dodgers' success.
