SEATTLE — When the Dodgers traded for Brock Stewart at the trade deadline, they knew he came with some risk.
But on Friday, their worst-case scenario was realized.
Stewart will undergo season-ending shoulder surgery, manager Dave Roberts announced, leaving the Dodgers without the only impact deadline addition they made to bolster their struggling bullpen.
Although the Dodgers have been managing several injury concerns — from Will Smith’s fractured hand, to Tommy Edman’s sore ankle, to leg bruises that Max Muncy revealed on Friday he has been dealing with — Stewart’s status had become among the most alarming.
