Los Angeles Dodgers right-handed relief pitcher Brock Stewart began his Single-A rehab assignment Tuesday after undergoing surgery last year.

Stewart suffered a shoulder injury after just four games in a Dodgers uniform following his deadline day arrival from the Minnesota Twins, and underwent surgery in Sept. 2025. The Dodgers’ Single-A affiliate, the Ontario Tower Buzzers, announced Stewart would begin his rehab assignment with them on Tuesday, and he had a fantastic first outing back.

The right-hander threw 15 pitches in the outing and struck out the side after coming in for the third inning.

During the four games he played with the Dodgers last season, Stewart allowed two runs in 3.2 innings pitched for a 4.91 ERA. Prior to that, though, he had a 2.38 ERA with the Twins through 39 appearances, and struck out 41 batters in just 34 innings.

While Stewart had a great showing in Single-A on Tuesday, manager Dave Roberts doesn’t believe he’ll be joining the team immediately.

“You’re sort of looking at Spring Training and how many outings a reliever takes,” Roberts said. “I would say three weeks is probably what it’s going to take.”

Stewart definitely has a few more rehab outings in his future, and will try to string together a strong run of appearances before returning to the team.
