LOS ANGELES, CA: Right-hander Tyler Glasnow of the Los Angeles Dodgers, who hasn't played in a game since August 11, injured his elbow on Friday while trying to recuperate from elbow tendinitis.
As Glasnow warmed up to pitch in a mock game, he had pain in his elbow, which caused the Dodgers to shut him down. With just two weeks left in the schedule, manager Dave Roberts informed reporters on Saturday that it's "highly unlikely" that Glasnow will return this season.
It was anticipated that on Friday, Glasnow will take part in a simulated game against hitters, forego a rehab assignment, and return to the squad the following week.Those plans are obviously no longer feasible. This is just another setback for Los Angeles, whose starting rotation now has seven more pitchers on the injured list than active players (five).
In his debut season with the Dodgers, Glasnow has thrown to a 3.49 ERA with 168 strikeouts in 22 starts and 134 innings when healthy. He hasn't thrown as many as 134 innings since 155 1/3 in 2017. After undergoing Tommy John surgery in August 2021, Glasnow's elbow problems are concerning again.
