Gavin Stone, Bobby Miller and other injured Dodgers pitchers still trying to work back to full health

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’s Camelback Ranch spring 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 Roberts said.“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 remains sidelined with shoulder problems that 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.
