Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Tyler Glasnow (elbow) is likely done for the season, according to David Vassegh of 570 LA Sports. Manager Dave Roberts expressed that the 31-year-old reportedly has a strained elbow and will now likely be sidelined for the remainder of the season. This is a tough blow for a Dodger team who has their sights set on competing in October. Glasnow initially hit the 15-day IL back in August with right elbow tendinitis and showed promising signs during his recovery process. Through his first season in LA, the hard-throwing right-hander held a 3.49 ERA, 0.95 WHIP, and a 35:168 BB:K ratio across 134 innings. Given his elite strikeout upside, Glasnow will likely be one of the first pitchers taken in drafts next season despite his injury concerns.
Los Angeles Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said that right-hander Tyler Glasnow (elbow) got a scan on Friday and that the medical staff described the results as "promising." However, Roberts didn't have anymore specifics about what the scans showed. The Dodgers shut down Glasnow's scheduled simulated game on Friday after he experienced more discomfort in his right elbow on Friday, and Roberts described it as a setback. The 31-year-old has received good news on his tests, but there's still a pretty good chance we won't see him make a start again in 2024 in the regular season. The Dodgers' main priority right now is getting Glasnow healthy for a deep playoff run. Glasnow had an elite 32.2% strikeout rate in his first year with the Dodgers, going 9-6 with a 3.49 ERA and 0.95 WHIP on his way to his first All-Star appearance. The Dodgers need Glasnow in their rotation for the postseason.
Los Angeles Dodgers right-hander Tyler Glasnow (elbow) felt discomfort in his right elbow while warming up for his scheduled simulated game on Friday, and the Dodgers cut it short from there as a result. "It's a setback," manager Dave Roberts said. This pretty much assures that we won't see Glasnow again on the bump for the Dodgers until the start of the postseason. And even then, there's no guarantee he'll be ready by then, depending on how his rehab goes from here on out. The 31-year-old hard-throwing righty has been sidelined since Aug. 16 with right-elbow tendinitis and is running out of time to get stretched out for a potential return to the starting rotation. Glasnow was one of the most dominant arms in the big leagues in 2024 in his first year in LA, and it would be a huge blow to the Dodgers' pitching staff if he were unable to return this year.
