Dodgers Pitcher Gavin Stone's Shoulder Update: Inflammation but No Structural Damage | MLB News (2026)

Dodgers pitcher Gavin Stone's shoulder discomfort is a manageable issue, according to recent medical findings. The 27-year-old right-hander, who underwent shoulder surgery in October 2024, will not pitch for the next few weeks while he addresses the inflammation in his throwing shoulder. Despite the setback, Dodgers manager Dave Roberts shared that a scan revealed no structural damage, which is a positive sign for Stone's recovery and potential return to the mound. Stone's performance in 2024, prior to the injury, was impressive, with an 11-5 record and a 3.53 ERA in 25 starts.
