PHOENIX –– It was a reunion of sorts for the Dodgers on Tuesday.

With the club in town to face the Arizona Diamondbacks, a group of injured pitchers currently rehabbing at the team’sCamelback Ranchspring training facility were in the visiting clubhouse at Chase Field to visit with teammates, check in with coaches, and get at least one day back around the big leagues while they work towards their return to action.

“It’s good seeing those guys,”manager Dave Robertssaid. “It’s a nice kind of reprieve or break for them while we’re in town to pop over.”

The most notable familiar face: Starting pitcher Gavin Stone, who remainssidelined with shoulder problemsthat date back to a season-ending surgery he had at the end of his breakout 2024 rookie campaign.

Entering this year, the Dodgers were hoping to have Stone at full health. Through the early weeks of spring training, he was one of the standout performers in camp, recapturing the form he showed while going 11-5 with a 3.53 ERA in that 2024 season.

Alas, his surgically repaired shoulder flared up on him after his first Cactus League start. And since then, attempts to ramp him back up have been scuttled by more setbacks in what has now become a year-and-a-half-long injury saga.

“He’s one that I’m really bummed out about,” Roberts said. “I think his makeup is off the charts, good, compete. Right now, his body’s just letting him down a little bit. There’s nothing else he can do. When he … ramps it up, it sort of shows itself again. So right now, I’m not sure exactly where he’s at in this progression. But I’m looking forward to seeing him, though.”

The other injured pitchers around the team Tuesday included Ben Casparius (who started the year in the Dodgers’ bullpen before going down with a shoulder injury that has since landed him on the 60-day injured list) as well as Bobby Miller and Landon Knack (who have both been sidelined since the start of the season).

Miller spoke to reporters in the clubhouse Tuesday, and revealed that in addition to the shoulder injury that initially landed him on the IL to begin the season, he also had a back issue that forced him to slow-play his throwing progression in the early weeks of the season.
