Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Tyler Glasnow pitched two innings, allowing two hits and five runs in his team's 8-7 loss to the Philadelphia Phillies on Sunday. The 31-year-old walked five and struck out two in his abbreviated start. Glasnow completed the first two innings unscathed, but things unraveled in the third. After loading the bases with a Bryce Harper single, he uncorked a wild pitch -- scoring a run -- and walked Max Kepler before getting the yank. Alex Vesia promptly served up a Nick Castellanos grand slam on the next pitch, charging Glasnow with another three earned. Despite the disastrous outing against a strong lineup, he was much better his last time out when he struck out eight, blanking the Braves over five innings. Glasnow will try to return to that form in his next start, which projects to come at home against a hot Chicago Cubs squad next Sunday.
Tyler Glasnow Fans Eight, Earns Win In Monday Debut
Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Tyler Glasnow had a strong first start of the season in Monday's 6-1 win over the Braves. Glasnow pitched five scoreless innings, allowing two hits and three walks with eight strikeouts on 79 pitches. The 31-year-old has presented a fantasy conundrum throughout his career in that he has been excellent on a start-for-start basis but has not been able to stay healthy. He reached a career-high in innings pitched in 2024 with 134, resulting in 22 starts. The Dodgers have employed a six-man rotation and have plenty of other injury concerns in their rotation, so Glasnow may not receive the workload of a conventional fantasy ace. However, he should pitch deep into games when he does start and offers elite strikeout upside. He will look to turn in another productive start in his next scheduled outing, which will be a tough matchup at the Phillies.
Los Angeles Dodgers right-hander Tyler Glasnow (elbow) is scheduled to face live hitters in a live batting practice session at camp on Tuesday, according to The Athletic's Fabian Ardaya. Glasnow should be ready to go for Opening Day in 2025 after ending last year on the injured list and being unavailable for the playoffs due to a sprained right elbow. The 31-year-old has a long list of arm injuries in his career, but he was a first-time All-Star in 2024 in his first year in L.A., going 9-6 with a 3.49 ERA (2.90 FIP) and 0.95 WHIP with a career-high 168 strikeouts and 35 walks in 134 innings over 22 starts. Glasnow's 134 innings and 22 starts also represent career-highs. There's a lot to like about him outside of his injury history, but the Dodgers using a six-man starting rotation will limit his fantasy upside somewhat to begin the year. He ranks as the No. 29 fantasy starting pitcher at RotoBaller.
Tyler Glasnow Throwing Bullpens, Feels Good Heading Into Spring Training
According to Rowan Kavner of FOX Sports, Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Tyler Glasnow (elbow) has been throwing normally and completed several bullpen sessions in the offseason. The starting pitcher also noted that he feels "as good as I've ever felt." Glasnow said his elbow issue last season was tendinitis and should be expected to be a full go during spring training. The 31-year-old saw his season cut short in mid-August due to this elbow injury but appears to be past it. Fantasy managers should continue monitoring his status during spring training but should expect him to reclaim his role at the top of the Dodger rotation. Last season, the right-hander posted a solid 3.45 ERA with a 0.95 WHIP across 134 innings. He struck out 168 batters with a strong 6.7 percent walk rate. Even though Glasnow has battled numerous injuries during his career, he carries elite upside when on the mound.
Tyler Glasnow Still Unsure About Recovery Plan, Not Throwing Yet
Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Tyler Glasnow (elbow) said on Friday that he doesn't know anything more about his recovery plan as he works to recover from an elbow sprain that has sidelined him until 2025. He said he is still not throwing and will have more imaging at some point. Once the imaging is complete then a more definitive recovery plan will likely follow. Glasnow joined the Dodgers this season after signing a five-year, $136.5 million contract in the offseason. He was able to start 22 games for the Dodgers and pitch to a 3.49 ERA before noticing elbow pain in mid-August. His absence will loom large for the Dodgers who have seen their rotation battle injuries all season. Dynasty managers shouldn't overreact to yet another injury holding back Glasnow's potential but his pattern of injuries warrants a bit of worry about his future.
Los Angeles Dodgers right-hander Tyler Glasnow (elbow) said follow-up imaging on his right elbow didn't show anything more serious than an elbow sprain and he is confident he will not need any kind of surgical procedure on his arm. However, Glasnow also said it's "extremely frustrating" that he won't be able to pitch in the playoffs in his first year with the Dodgers. The 31-year-old was diagnosed with a right-elbow sprain last Saturday and was placed on the 60-day injured list on Wednesday, ruling him out for the rest of the regular season. Glasnow could come off the 60-day IL if the Dodgers make a deep postseason run, but the Dodgers aren't going to bring the hard-throwing right-hander back. Glasnow should be a full-go for the start of spring training in 2025, where he'll be an injury-prone, risk-reward fantasy ace. LA's starting rotation is a big question mark heading into October this fall.
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.
Tyler Glasnow To Throw Simulated Game This Weekend
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.
