However, Banda had a rare rough outing last night against the Chicago Cubs. He allowed three hits and two earned runs in a 10-4 loss. Banda was acquired in a trade this season from the Cleveland Guardians in exchange for cash considerations and has been a pleasant surprise for the Dodgers. The left-hander has a 3.23 ERA with 50 strikeouts in 47 1\/3 innings. He and fellow southpaw <a href=\"https:\/\/www.baseball-reference.com\/players\/v\/vesiaal01.shtml?utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=lastwordonsports.com&amp;utm_campaign=2024-09-10_br\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Alex Vesia<\/a> have stabilized a weary bullpen.<\/p>\n<h2>Brusdar Graterol Returns for Good (Hopefully)<\/h2>\n<p>Graterol was scheduled to come off the IL on Wednesday. However, Banda&#8217;s unavailability made Graterol&#8217;s return imminent. The flame-throwing reliever has missed the majority of the season rehabbing a shoulder injury sustained in spring training. In his August debut, Graterol threw less than ten pitches before straining his hamstring. He was helped off the field.<\/p>\n<p>After that August game, manager <a href=\"https:\/\/www.baseball-reference.com\/managers\/roberda07.shtml\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Dave Roberts<\/a> said that the hard-throwing right-hander had suffered a grade three hamstring injury and was probably <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/baseball\/2024\/08\/07\/brusdar-graterol-out-for-season\/\" target=\"_self\">out for the year<\/a>. However, the next day, Roberts said the strain was only grade one.<\/p>\n<p>Graterol has made two rehab outings with Triple-A Oklahoma City before being activated tonight. He gave up one run in those appearances. Los Angeles could use a well-rested power arm who throws close to 100 mph as they gear up for the postseason.<\/p>\n<h3>Out for the Season?<\/h3>\n<p>Unfortunately, it is unknown how much time Banda will miss, or, if he will be available for any portion of the postseason.<\/p>\n<h3>One Final Note<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.baseball-reference.com\/players\/y\/yamamyo01.shtml?utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=lastwordonsports.com&amp;utm_campaign=2024-09-10_br\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Yoshinobu Yamamoto<\/a> was also <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/baseball\/2024\/09\/10\/dodgers-yoshinobu-yamamoto-return-60-day-il\/\" target=\"_self\">activated today<\/a> and started tonight against the Chicago Cubs. The Dodgers are hoping that this latest injury news is the last they will encounter for a while, but they are probably not holding their breath.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Photo Credit: \u00a9 Jayne Kamin-Oncea-Imagn Images<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Los Angeles Dodgers&#8217; hard-throwing reliever Brusdar Graterol made his return from the injured list tonight.
