Sheehan had Tommy John surgery last May and has progressed to throwing bullpen sessions. He might see time in the majors after the All-Star break.

Sheehan has progressed to throwing bullpen sessions as he continues his recovery from last year’s Tommy John surgery, but he’s not expected to be ready to return until the late stages of the year, barring any setbacks.

Sheehan, 25, underwent Tommy John surgery in May. The right-hander is one of the more talented hurlers in the Los Angeles system, and even with a loaded rotation, he has a chance to make starts at some point in 2025 for the Dodgers. In terms of fantasy, he’s more of a 2026 play.

The writing was seemingly on the wall after Sheehan was shut down from throwing indefinitely a couple weeks ago due to right forearm inflammation. The 24-year-old right-hander showed some immense promise last year as a rookie before landing on the shelf back in spring training with an ominous arm injury. There should be some clarity on his return timetable at some point in the near future, but it’s obviously a significant development for his fantasy appeal in dynasty leagues.
