LOS ANGELES — The Dodgers and relief pitcher Brusdar Graterol have reached agreement on a one-year contract, avoiding arbitration.

Graterol will make $2.8 million in 2026, his final year of arbitration eligibility. The 27-year-old right-hander can become a free agent next winter.

Graterol’s salary is the same as it was for 2025 when he missed the entire season while recovering from shoulder surgery to repair his labrum in November 2024. He pitched just 7⅓ innings in 2024 (plus 2⅓ during the World Series) while dealing with recurring shoulder problems but is expected to be ready for the 2026 season.

The Dodgers have three more players eligible for salary arbitration this winter – outfielder Alex Call, left-hander Anthony Banda and right-hander Brock Stewart. Thursday is the deadline to exchange salary figures. Players and teams can continue to negotiate after the deadline and players can sign at any point up to their arbitration hearing.
