LOS ANGELES -- Brusdar Graterol had spent all season recovering from a shoulder injury -- only to exit eight pitches into his return.
Graterol, one of the Los Angeles Dodgers' most important relievers, grabbed at his right leg immediately after throwing a pitch to Philadelphia Phillies catcher J.T. Realmuto in Tuesday's sixth inning.
After getting checked on near the pitcher's mound, he was helped off the field by teammate Enrique Hernandez and head athletic trainer Thomas Albert, clearly emotional as he made his way to the third-base dugout.
