Los Angeles Dodgers

Blake Snell

SP

Snell has yet to throw a proper bullpen session since undergoing a NanoScope procedure May 19 to address loose bodies in his left elbow, but he appears to be on the precipice of doing so now that he's completed a flat-ground throwing progression. The left-hander will remain on the shelf through the All-Star break, but he could have a shot at returning early in the second half of the season if he experiences no setbacks while ramping up his throwing in the coming weeks.

Teoscar Hernandez

LF

The veteran slugger has been participating in live batting practice over the past few days, which could be the final hurdle before being cleared for minor-league action. Hernandez expected to be sidelined for about a month after sustaining a Grade 1 hamstring strain in late May, and he appears to be on track with that initial timeline.

Will Smith

C

The veteran backstop may require a minor-league rehab assignment and could be back as early as the start of the Dodgers' next homestand, which starts July 2 in San Diego. Smith recently received a cortisone injection to address the neck inflammation that has sidelined him for the past couple weeks.

Blake Treinen

RP

Treinen seemed to be rounding into form for the Dodgers, posting a 2.61 ERA and 1.16 WHIP to go along with three wins and a save over his last 13 appearances, but his campaign is now on hold due to the elbow injury. Chayce McDermott replaces Treinen on the active roster and in the Los Angeles bullpen.

Brock Stewart

RP

Initially expected to miss around three weeks, Stewart has missed twice that much time due to a bone spur in his left foot. However, it seems Stewart is now on the verge of his return after making four rehab appearances with Single-A Ontario. Stewart missed the start of the season with a shoulder injury and has made just two appearances out of the Dodgers' bullpen so far in 2026.

Edwin Diaz

RP

Diaz has been out of commission since April 20 after undergoing surgery for loose bodies in his right elbow. Manager Dave Roberts says his closer has been progressing well since the procedure was completed. The 32-year-old Diaz was recently cleared to ramp up his throwing progression.

Enrique Hernandez

1B

Hernandez suffered a "significant tear" of his left oblique May 26 in just his second game back after returning from a lengthy season-opening IL stint due to offseason elbow surgery. The super utility man has been able to participate in some activities since landing on the IL for the second time, but he likely remains at least four weeks away from potentially being able to return to game action.

Tyler Glasnow

SP

It was reported over the weekend that Glasnow could throw in the near future, but he's yet to make any progress. He's been on the injured list since suffering a back injury May 6 in his start against the Astros, and until he can gain clearance to resume throwing, a return date will be difficult to estimate.

Kendall George

CF

Shortly after crossing home plate to score a run in the game, George sustained the injury while jumping out of the way to avoid Tulsa's bat dog, who ran on to the field to retrieve bat. Fortunately for George, an MRI revealed no ligament damage to his knee, and the Dodgers are optimistic that he'll avoid surgery. Even so, George still appears to be headed for an extended absence due to the knee injury, especially as a player heavily reliant on speed. Over 43 games with Tulsa this season, the 21-year-old outfielder has slashed .333/.417/.397 with 26 stolen bases in 29 attempts across 200 plate appearances.

Chris Campos

SP

Evan Phillips

RP

Phillips struck out one batter and averaged 95.7 mph with his four-seamer, which is up 0.3 mph from last season. The righty is working his way back from Tommy John surgery and will likely need a fairly lengthy rehab assignment before rejoining the Dodgers' active roster.

Bobby Miller

SP

Miller suffered a right shoulder injury early on in spring training, and he revealed Tuesday that he then dealt with a back injury that slowed his throwing progression. However, Miller noted that he's progressed well since then and is "getting stronger and stronger." Miller's career has been sidetracked by injury and poor performance the last two years, and it's unclear whether the Dodgers will have him work as a starter or reliever at Triple-A Oklahoma City once he's ready to report there. He was moved to the bullpen last July at OKC but held a 5.52 ERA and 31/20 K:BB over 31 innings in a relief role.

Gavin Stone

SP

Stone was shut down for several weeks after feeling discomfort following his first Cactus League appearance. He resumed throwing in early April at the team's spring training facility in Arizona, but according to Roberts, Stone's shoulder issue "sort of shows itself again" when the hurler attempts to advance in his throwing program. Roberts added Tuesday of Stone that he's "not sure exactly where he's at in this progression," but clearly he is not going to be an option in the majors anytime soon.

Brusdar Graterol

RP

The specifics of the procedure aren't clear, but Harris writes that Graterol's return this season is "in jeopardy." Graterol has been working his way back from right shoulder surgery and has not pitched at the big-league level since 2024. The 27-year-old will be a free agent at the end of this season.

Ben Casparius

RP

Casparius has been cleared to start a throwing program, but he's evidently not close to a return yet, which is why the Dodgers bumped him over to the 60-day injured list. This clears up a spot on the 40-man roster for Jonathan Hernandez, who was signed to a deal with LA on Monday.

Landon Knack

SP

Knack has been on the injured list since the start of the season due to an intercostal strain, and his move to the 60-day IL will ensure he remains on the IL until at least late May. His 40-man spot will be given to Tyler Fitzgerald, who was acquired in a trade with Toronto on Tuesday.

Jake Cousins

RP

The transaction clears a spot on the 40-man roster for righty Jake Eder, who was acquired from the Nationals on Wednesday. Cousins is recovering from Tommy John surgery and will be sidelined until after the All-Star break.
