Dodgers Injury Update: Brock Stewart ‘Progressing Better Than Expected’
While some Los Angeles Dodgers pitchers are behind schedule in their throwing programs, news of Brock Stewart’s recovery is a breath of fresh air for the pitching staff.
The Dodgers will be without at least three pitchers to start the season, as Brusdar Graterol, Blake Snell and Evan Phillips do not have the green light for Opening Day. Graterol is “in a holding pattern” due to a lack of progress, Snell is limited to flat grounds at the moment, and Phillips is recovering from Tommy John.
The Dodgers entered the season planning for Stewart to be a part of their bullpen, but anticipated that his return would be a little delayed.
