Emmet Sheehan

We last saw Sheehan pitch on a major league mound in 2023. He came to camp with high expectations in 2024, but forearm discomfort revealed a partial tear in his UCL. The conservative route of rest and rehab yielded no results, so Sheehan went under the knife for a hybrid Tommy John plus internal brace surgery on May 15. It is expected Sheehan will not be back on the Dodgers roster until the second half of 2025, assuming everything goes well in his rehab. Once he does return, it can be expected he will have strict controls on his usage, and he may even come back as a reliever initially in 2025 much like other recent hybrid surgery types. We just do not see a scenario where Sheehan is providing enough value to mixed-reset leagues this season and even mono leagues would need to have IL stash spots or deep benches to wait out this recovery this season.
