Despite missing a major chunk of the 2024 campaign due to various injury issues, Graterol played a key role in his team's World Series triumph, as he came back to pitch in the latter innings of games in the postseason. Having joined the Dodgers before the 2020 season, 2024's success earned Graterol his second World Series winners' ring.
