Dodgers pitcher Gavin Stone is facing a setback in his recovery from shoulder surgery, but there's a silver lining. According to Dodgers manager Dave Roberts, Stone's recent scan revealed inflammation in his throwing shoulder, but no structural damage. This means that while Stone won't be pitching for the next couple of weeks, the injury isn't as severe as it could have been. Stone, 27, missed the entire 2025 season after undergoing shoulder surgery on October 9, 2024. Prior to the injury, he had a strong 2024 season, going 11-5 with a 3.53 ERA in 25 starts. This encouraging development in Stone's recovery is a positive sign for the Dodgers and their fans, who are eagerly awaiting his return to the mound.
