Dodgers' Brusdar Graterol: Facing hitters Saturday

Manager Dave Roberts said Friday that Graterol (hamstring) will throw to live hitters Saturday, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

After throwing a pair of bullpen sessions, Graterol has been cleared to face live hitters Saturday. The right-hander got up to 30 pitches in a bullpen Wednesday, and doesn't seem far off from returning. It's unclear if the Dodgers plan on restarting Graterol's rehab assignment after it was paused at the beginning of August, or if he'll come straight back to the big-league bullpen when ready.
