Top pitching prospect Nick Frasso underwent minor labrum surgery in November and will likely miss most, if not all, of the 2024 season. The Dodgers want to be cautious with his recovery and won't rush him back if he's not ready.

Los Angeles Dodgers pitching prospect Nick Frasso will miss the 2024 season due to shoulder surgery. Frasso, considered the No. 2 prospect in the Dodgers system, had a strong performance last season with a 3.77 ERA and a 3.45 strikeout-to-walk ratio. The Dodgers have made significant moves in their pitching department, signing Yoshinobu Yamamoto, James Paxton, and acquiring Tyler Glasnow. They have also added Dinelson Lamet to their non-roster invitee collection. Despite Frasso's absence, the Dodgers are well-positioned to navigate this setback.
