SEATTLE — When the Dodgers traded for Brock Stewart at the trade deadline, they knew he came with some risk.

But on Friday, their worst-case scenario was realized.

Stewart will undergo season-ending shoulder surgery, manager Dave Roberts announced, leaving the Dodgers without the only significant deadline addition they made to bolster their struggling bullpen.

Although the Dodgers have been managing several injury concerns — from Will Smith’s fractured hand, to Tommy Edman’s sore ankle, to leg bruises that Max Muncy revealed on Friday he has been dealing with — Stewart’s status had become among the most alarming.

Even after completing a minor-league rehab stint for a shoulder problem that had kept him out since early August, he continued to feel residual soreness.

After meeting with head team physician Dr. Neal ElAttrache this week, Stewart and the team decided surgery would be best. According to general manager Brandon Gomes, the 33-year-old is having a debridement procedure that should allow him to pitch the “majority” of next season, when he will still be under Dodgers control.

However for this October, the membership should proceed with out him.

“We had a lot of conversations with Brock, and he was like, ‘Hey, I want to help this team in any way possible,’” Gomes stated. “But watching him throw and just having the conversations with him, there was still something that was just bothering him. As much as we would love to have him right now, we don’t want to put his long-term health at risk.”

Shoulder issues are nothing new for Stewart. Final season, he made simply 16 appearances with the Minnesota Twins earlier than present process arthroscopic shoulder surgical procedure in August.

Whereas this newest harm just isn’t believed to be immediately associated to final yr’s concern, Gomes did acknowledge that “any time you’re taking on a pitcher, we understand that there are risks.”

It’s not that the Dodgers overpaid for Stewart, giving up solely former prospect James Outman of their deadline cope with the Twins. However, by not including an even bigger identify in a bullpen that had been slumping even earlier than the deadline (and has additional spiraled within the two months since), the Dodgers put a number of eggs within the right-hander’s basket. He was supposed to provide the unit some skilled stability. Now, he leaves one more gap to fill.

With out Stewart, the Dodgers’ right-handed aid hierarchy is considerably unclear. They nonetheless have longtime stalwart Blake Treinen, however he has posted a career-worst 5.47 ERA and handled first-half arm troubles. Onerous-throwing rookie Edgardo Henriquez has a 2.50 ERA in 21 appearances, however nonetheless has simply 21⅓ profession innings within the massive leagues. After which there’s Roki Sasaki, the rookie Japanese phenom who returned from a virtually five-month shoulder harm with an auspicious inning out of the bullpen this week.

One other identify that might enter the combination: Beginning pitcher Emmet Sheehan, who was scheduled to pitch Friday’s series-opener towards the Seattle Mariners however will seemingly be shifted to a multi-inning aid position out of the bullpen come the postseason.

In any occasion, nevertheless, Stewart’s absence will nonetheless damage. What the Dodgers hoped could be a high-upside play, given his 2.38 ERA with the Twins this season, has as a substitute develop into one more bullpen letdown.
