Los Angeles Dodgers star Tyler Glasnow won't be returning to the mound anytime soon as the franchise has placed him in the 60-day injured list on Saturday. This particular season, Glasnow had gone 1-0 with a 4.50 ERA in 18 innings.
What is the latest health update on Tyler Glasnow?
In a move related to this, the Dodgers have now claimed catcher Chuckie Robinson off waivers. Robinson was previously DFA'd by the Los Angeles Angels. He batted .272 with one home run and 18 RBIs along his name with the Triple-A Salt Lake City. He made his Major League Baseball debut with the Cincinnati Reds, where he managed to play 25 games.
On defense as a catcher, he has .922 fielding percentage and has caught 12 runners out of the 48 times while stealing.
After making five starts this season, Tyler Glasnow was placed on the injured list on April 28 due to right elbow inflammation. That means Glasnow will be able to make his return in late June. Last year, Glasnow suffered right elbow tendinitis as he couldn't finish the campaign.
Los Angeles Dodgers skipper's update on Tyler Glasnow
Last week, Tyler Glasnow made an appearance at the bullpen session. According to the Orange County Register's Bill Plunkett, Glasnow threw on the mound for the first time since his April 27 start when he went down after pitching one inning due to shoulder soreness.
Dodgers manager Dave Roberts shared some positive insights on the road to recovery for Tyler Glasnow. This happened after his bullpen session that lasted more than 20 pitches.
He said he felt great afterwards, Roberts said. Don’t know what that means with velocity. But I do know he was getting after it pretty good.
The Los Angeles Dodgers are navigating through their own injury issues as 14 pitchers are on the injured list. Glasnow, who earned All-Star selection last year in his debut campaign with the LA Angels, will be a big boost for the rotation once he makes a return to the field.
Tyler Glasnow missed out on pitching in the postseason, where the Los Angeles Dodgers won the Fall Classic title against the New York Yankees.
It’s extremely frustrating, Glasnow said last September. I wanted to come here to win a World Series and pitch in the postseason.
Apart from Tyler Glasnow, the franchise is waiting for Blake Snell to return to the mound.
