Dodgers Reliever to Take Important Step in Injury Recovery
Los Angeles Dodgers relief pitcher Brock Stewart has been hurt since August, and is beginning to take steps towards his return. MLB. com’s Sonja Chen reports Stewart will face hitters Friday as well as Tuesday, and the right-hander believes he’ll be ready for a rehab assignment afterwards.
Brock Stewart said he's facing hitters tomorrow and again on Tuesday. After those lives, he thinks he'll be close to starting a rehab assignment. — Sonja Chen (@SonjaMChen) March 26, 2026 Stewart came back to LA at the trade deadline in 2025, but made just four appearances out of the bullpen before landing on the injured list in August.
The Orange County Register’s Bill Plunkett reported Stewart was on track to return in the first half during spring training, and the right-hander seems to be trending in the right direction for that to happen. With the Dodgers last season, Stewart had a 4. 91 ERA and struck out three batters through 3.
2 innings. He finished the year with a 2. 63 ERA, as he had a 2.
38 mark with the Minnesota Twins before being traded. Stewart began his MLB career with the Dodgers, making his debut for the team in 2016. He played in LA until the Toronto Blue Jays claimed him off waivers in 2019, but didn’t play in MLB again until 2023 after that season due to a stint in an independent league and a year-long injury.
