Dodgers' Tyler Glasnow To Return On Tuesday
Key Points:
- Dodgers right-hander Tyler Glasnow is set to rejoin the team early next week for their series against the Braves after missing over three months due to a back injury, with no roster move needed as there is an open spot on the 40-man roster.
- Glasnow showed strong performance in his rehab start, pitching 5 1/3 innings with nine strikeouts and one earned run, and is expected to replace Justin Wrobleski in the rotation, who was placed on the IL with left forearm inflammation.
- Shohei Ohtani is progressing in his recovery from a knee injury, recently throwing 30 pitches in live batting practice and is expected to have another session before potentially returning to pitching soon.
- Closer Edwin Diaz, sidelined with neck inflammation, will return in a lower-leverage role rather than as a closer to rebuild confidence after struggling post-elbow surgery.
- Reliever Will Klein, dealing with bone chips in his elbow, has started a throwing program and aims to manage pain to continue playing this season, potentially avoiding surgery that would end his year.
