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.
Los Angeles Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said that right-hander Tyler Glasnow's (elbow) bullpen session went well on Tuesday and now expects him to throw two to three simulated innings in Atlanta this weekend. After several successful bullpen sessions, Glasnow is taking the next step to face live hitters, and if all goes well this weekend, the 31-year-old could be cleared to return to LA's starting rotation without going on a minor-league rehab start. It's progress for Glasnow, but fantasy managers still playing for something through the rest of the regular season may want to temper expectations for the dominant right-hander, as the Dodgers could limit his workload to make absolutely sure that he's in tip-top shape for the start of the postseason in October. Maintaining his health the rest of the year is of utmost importance for a Dodgers rotation that has its fair share of injury issues in 2024.
Los Angeles Dodgers right-hander Tyler Glasnow (elbow) is scheduled to throw another bullpen session on Tuesday, and if that goes well, he will throw a simulated game on Friday, according to manager Dave Roberts. Glasnow threw a 25-pitch bullpen session over the weekend on Saturday and is ready for another bullpen before facing live hitters later this week. Beyond Glasnow's simulated game on Friday, the next step for him should be to go on a minor-league rehab assignment. Fantasy managers still playing for something with several weeks to go in the season may not get more than a start or two the rest of the way, as the Dodgers aren't going to rush the dominant right-hander back too soon and jeopardize his availability for the postseason. Glasnow has had a fine first season in LA, going 9-6 with a 3.49 ERA, a 0.95 WHIP and 168 strikeouts in 134 innings over 22 starts.
