Graveman is likely to miss at least a couple weeks, even in a best-case scenario. The 34-year-old veteran reliever has posted an inflated 8.64 ERA across 8 1/3 innings (nine appearances) since returning from the injured list back in mid-May.

Graveman missed all of last season recovering from shoulder surgery and missed the opening six-plus weeks of the 2025 campaign due to a back issue. The 34-year-old veteran figures to pitch in high-leverage spots and should make an impact for Arizona’s injury-depleted bullpen mix.

The 34-year-old hurler has been sidelined since the last week of March due to a right lumbar strain. Given the current state of the Diamondbacks’ bullpen, Graveman can’t get back quickly enough. It’s unclear how long of a build up he’ll need, but Graveman could quickly work his way into a high-leverage role upon his return.

Graveman missed all of last season after shoulder surgery and then was sidelined during spring training with a lumbar strain. Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo said Graveman would pitch on Wednesday at Triple-A Reno as he works his way back to the Arizona bullpen.
