New York, NY, August 6, 2026 —

Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Gavin Stone took the mound on Thursday for his first start in nearly two years, marking a significant return to the game after undergoing shoulder surgery.

Stone’s absence from the 2025 season was attributed to the necessary recovery period following the surgical procedure. His comeback signifies a potential boost for the Dodgers’ pitching rotation.

Prior to his injury and subsequent surgery, Stone was an integral part of the Dodgers’ success during the 2024 season. He led the team in multiple key pitching categories, including the most starts and the most innings pitched. His performance in 2024 highlighted his role as a key contributor to the team’s efforts on the field.

The pitcher’s return after an extensive rehabilitation period is a noteworthy development for the Los Angeles Dodgers as they continue their season.
