Dodgers manager Dave Roberts told reporters Saturday that he expects Stewart (foot) will be on the 15-day injured list for approximately three weeks, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports. Stewart landed on the 15-day IL earlier in the day due to a left foot bone spur, which corresponded with Blake Snell being activated from the IL. Given the timeline, Stewart will be on the shelf until at least late May, though it's unclear whether he'll need to go on a rehab assignment before rejoining the Dodgers.
The Dodgers placed Stewart on the 15-day injured list Saturday due to a left foot bone spur, Noah Camras of SI.com reports. Stewart was cleared to make his 2026 debut Wednesday after opening the season on the 15-day IL while continuing to recover from right shoulder surgery that he underwent in September. He appeared in two games out of the bullpen for the Dodgers, tossing two scoreless and hitless innings while striking out three batters. Stewart is eligible to return from the IL in late May, though it's unclear whether he'll be ready by then or need more time to recover. Blake Snell (shoulder) was activated from the 15-day IL in a corresponding move.
The Dodgers reinstated Stewart (shoulder) from the 15-day injured list Wednesday. Los Angeles optioned left-hander Jake Eder to Triple-A Oklahoma City to clear room on the 26-man active roster for Stewart, who has been given the green light to join the big club for the first time in 2026 after completing his recovery from the right shoulder debridement procedure he required last September. Stewart recently wrapped up an impressive eight-appearance rehab assignment between Single-A Ontario and Triple-A Oklahoma City during which he struck out 13 batters and allowed four hits and three walks over 6.1 scoreless innings. The Dodgers may start him out with some lower-leverage appearances out of the bullpen, but Stewart could quickly work his way into the setup mix.
