Los Angeles Dodgers

On February 10, 2020, the Twins traded Graterol, Luke Raley, and the 67th pick in the 2020 Major League Baseball draft to the Los Angeles Dodgers for Kenta Maeda, Jaír Camargo, and cash considerations. [13] In the pandemic-shortened 2020 season, he appeared in 23 games (two starts) for the Dodgers and allowed eight earned runs in 231⁄3 innings, for a 3.09 ERA. [12] In the postseason, he pitched one scoreless inning to pick up the save in the second game of the Wild Card Series [14] and 1+1⁄3 scoreless innings in the second game of the 2020 NLDS. [15] In the 2020 NLCS against the Atlanta Braves, he pitched in four games, allowing three runs in 3+1⁄3 innings [16] and in the 2020 World Series against the Tampa Bay Rays he pitched two scoreless innings over three games as the Dodgers won the championship. [12]

In 2021, Graterol pitched in 34 games for the Dodgers, with a 3–0 record and 4.59 ERA. [12] In the postseason, he pitched one inning in the Wild Card Game, 3+2⁄3 innings in the 2021 NLDS and 4+1⁄3 innings in the 2021 NLCS, allowing only one run on four hits while striking out seven. [12] In 2022, he pitched in 46 games and was 2–4 with a 3.26 ERA in 49+2⁄3 innings. He also picked up four saves, with his first career save being on June 26 against the Braves. [12]

On January 13, 2023, Graterol agreed to a one-year, $1.225 million contract with the Dodgers, avoiding salary arbitration. [17] He pitched in 68 games in 2023, with a 1.20 ERA and seven saves. [12] In his second season of arbitration, Graterol increased his salary to $2.7 million for 2024. [18]

In 2024, Graterol began the season on the injured list with a sore shoulder [19] and didn't rejoin the active roster until August 5. [20] In his first game back, he recorded one out, gave up a single and suffered a hamstring strain while pitching to the next batter, putting him back on the injured list after just eight pitches. [21] He rejoined the roster again on September 10 [22] only to return to the injured list on September 26 due to shoulder inflammation. [23] In total, he pitched in 7+1⁄3 innings and allowed two earned runs. [12] Despite not appearing in the first two rounds of the playoffs, Graterol was added to the Dodgers roster for the 2024 World Series. [24] He pitched 2+1⁄3 innings over parts of three games, allowing one run on two hits and four walks. [12] Graterol underwent labrum surgery after the series to address the shoulder issues that had plagued him during the season, putting his status for 2025 in doubt. [25]

Personal life

Graterol grew up near Calabozo, Venezuela, and was raised by his mother, Ysmalia, and grandparents. [26] He married Allison Landa on January 22, 2021. [27]
