Graterol last pitched this past Sunday, throwing two scoreless innings and recording his third save. The twenty-three year old had become a closer option for the Dodgers as of late before sustaining this injury. Graterol holds a 3.35 ERA, 0.97 WHIP and 35 strikeouts in 40 innings pitched this season. He has converted three of four save opportunities.
