Los Angeles Dodgers Headlines
Brusdar Graterol's injury update has become a familiar narrative this spring for the Los Angeles Dodgers. Manager Dave Roberts confirmed that the team is “slow playing” the right-hander, which hardly surprised fans given his history. With Graterol expected to take his time recovering, the bullpen depth will be tested early in the season. This poses a challenge, but the offseason acquisitions should provide some cushion , especially with the addition of Edwin Díaz as a proven closer.
Spring training is underway, and the early returns from Yoshinobu Yamamoto have been promising. The World Series MVP is stepping into a crucial leadership role, aiming to maintain his composure as the Dodgers target a three-peat. His performance in 2025 set the bar high, and fans expect nothing less this season. With PECOTA projecting the Dodgers to dominate the NL West, their path to another division title seems almost secure, showcasing a 98.1% chance to win. The rest of the division appears to be in a different league entirely.
Brandon Gomes addressed comments from stars like Bryce Harper and Manny Machado, who praised the Dodgers’ spending approach. Their validation reflects not just the team’s strategy, but also the culture that has propelled the franchise to new heights. As for Roki Sasaki, he looks to build on his electric postseason performance and solidify his position in the rotation. With the stakes higher than ever, every player will need to step up as the 2026 season draws closer.
