RHP Brusdar Graterol
Injury: Recovery from right shoulder surgery
Expected return: Possibly first half of 2026
Status: Graterol's velocity is down from where it is expected to be, so the Dodgers are slow-playing his ramp-up. He will not be ready in time for Opening Day. (updated Feb. 18) More >>
INF/OF Tommy Edman
Injury: Recovery from right ankle surgery
Expected return: Likely first half of 2026
Status: Underwent a procedure on his nagging right ankle in November. He's ramping up his baseball activities but will begin the season on the injured list. (updated Feb. 16) More >>
LHP Blake Snell
Injury: Left shoulder
Expected return: Possibly Opening Day
Status: Slow-played his offseason throwing program due to lingering discomfort in his shoulder, which is feeling stronger after rest and physical therapy. He is the only Dodgers starter who has not thrown a bullpen or live session in Spring Training, making it less likely he's in the season-opening rotation. (updated Feb. 16) More >>
INF/OF Kiké Hernández
Injury: Recovery from left elbow surgery
Expected return: Likely first half of 2026
Status: Underwent surgery on his elbow in November 2025 and is expected to miss at least a month of the regular season. He should start swinging a bat soon, per general manager Brandon Gomes (updated Feb. 15)
