Fantasy Impact: Middleton has not pitched in the majors since 2023 - and was limited to just four minor league appearances in 2024 - as a slew of injuries derailed his promising career. Over his seven-year big league career, Middleton has pitched to a 3.84 ERA in 194.1 career innings with the Angels, Mariners, Diamondbacks, White Sox, and Yankees. There's not a lot of room in a crowded Dodgers' bullpen, but Middleton, if he stays healthy, gives Los Angeles another experienced righthanded arm.

Fantasy Impact: Graterol was a key piece of the Dodgers' bullpen from 2020-23 as he pitched to a 2.69 ERA over 173.2 innings. However, injuries have limited the hard-throwing righthander to just seven appearances over the last two seasons. It was already known that he wasn't going to be ready for Opening Day. But, now there is definitely no timetable for his return.
