Tyler Glasnow's Injury Casts Doubt on Dodgers' Postseason Aspirations
ATLANTA — Tyler Glasnow's first season with the Los Angeles Dodgers has encountered a major issue as injury concerns escalate. The latest blow came when Glasnow warmed up for a simulated game but ultimately did not play due to elbow discomfort. Scans revealed a sprained elbow, leading Manager Dave Roberts to declare that a return this season is ‘highly unlikely’. Despite the Dodgers investing heavily in pitching this offseason, they struggle with a rotation filled with injuries. Glasnow, who signed a five-year, $136.5 million deal before throwing a pitch for the Dodgers, has been sidelined with elbow tendonitis previously and now faces an uncertain path forward.
In a season where 12 starting pitchers have hit the injured list, the Dodgers find themselves in a precarious position as they gear up for the postseason. Roberts emphasized that while losing Glasnow is a significant hit, the team must adapt and find ways to compete in October.
