Brock Stewart is in his second tour of duty with the Los Angeles Dodgers. He's coming off of shoulder surgery, which will delay any regular-season activity going into the 2026 MLB season.

That doesn't mean, though, Stewart isn't in camp in Arizona right now.

He's going to get himself as ready as possible once the Dodgers break camp at Spring Training at Camelback Ranch in Glendale, Ariz.

Stewart talked about his surgery and recovery work in an interview with longtime Dodgers beat reporter Jack Harris for The California Post.

When asked about the surgery itself, Stewart told Harris, "Shaved up a bone spur, kind of took out part of my clavicle, took out the bursa". That's a lot of work done to get his right shoulder in better condition.

Harris added, "Stewart didn’t put a timeline on when he’ll be active this year (he’s unlikely for opening day), but is confident that 'I’ll be able to pitch for the majority of the season.' He has been touching 90 mph in long toss, and is scheduled to get off a mound in next two weeks".

Besides the Dodgers, Stewart also has pitched for the Minnesota Twins and Toronto Blue Jays. Stewart, who played college baseball at Illinois State, was a sixth-round draft choice by the Dodgers in the 2014 MLB Draft.

In splitting last season between the Twins and Dodgers, Stewart posted a 2-2 record with a 2.63 ERA in 43 appearances. He spent his first three-plus MLB seasons with the Dodgers before going to the Blue Jays in the 2019 MLB season. Stewart didn't get back into the majors until 2023, when he spent two-plus seasons with the Twins.

On Sept. 26, 2025, Stewart was ruled out for the rest of the season due to his shoulder injury. Career-wise, Stewart has a 10-5 record with a 4.48 ERA.

If Stewart can come back healthy, then he'll add just another bit of depth to the Dodgers' pitching staff. Even with pitchers like Yoshinobu Yamamoto, Blake Snell, and Shohei Ohtani slated to start, Stewart's experience can be useful.

When Dodgers manager Dave Roberts might need a pitcher to either eat up some innings or deliver middle-innings relief, then Stewart might just get the call.

Yet Los Angeles wants to make sure Stewart is right. The Dodgers don't want to rush Stewart back, giving him time to fully heal and prep his right arm for the upcoming season.

Let's see if Stewart can have a stellar season in 2026.
