The Los Angeles Dodgers manager Dave Roberts could be delivering some unfortunate news to Shohei Ohtani in the coming hours. According to recent reports, one of the teamâs new starting pitchers might miss the rest of the season due to an elbow injury.
The pitcher in question is Tyler Glasnow, who is said to have suffered a sprained elbow. According to Dave Roberts, it is highly unlikely that Glasnow will return to play in the final weeks of the regular season or any potential playoffs.
Itâs worth noting that Glasnow is not a rookie; he joined the Dodgers in 2024, much like Shohei Ohtani, and he had previous experience with other teams. Before moving to California, Glasnow played for the Tampa Bay Rays from 2018.
Tyler Glasnow, along with Shohei Ohtani, is one of the six starting pitchers for the Dodgers in the 2024 MLB season. So far, he would be the second pitcher on that list to be sidelined, joining Gavin Stone, who has also been out of action for some time.
How Many Games Did Glasnow Pitch in 2024?
Before his injury, Glasnow had a 9-6 record for the current season with 22 starts. His most recent game was on August 11 against Pittsburgh, a 6-5 home victory. His ERA stood at 3.49, with a personal WHIP of 0.948.
How Much MLB Experience Does Glasnow Have?
Glasnow began his professional career in 2016 with the Pittsburgh Pirates. After leaving that team in 2018, he joined the Tampa Bay Rays, where he played for a total of six seasons before signing with the Los Angeles Dodgers in 2024 at the age of 30.
