Tyler Glasnow Could Throw Off A Mound This Weekend
3 months agoLos Angeles Dodgers right-hander Tyler Glasnow (elbow) played catch up to 120 feet again on Tuesday and said he will probably be ready to throw off a mound on Friday or Saturday when the team returns home to Dodger Stadium. In a "best-case scenario," manager Dave Roberts said last weekend that Glasnow could return to the big-league rotation in the middle of September. But the 31-year-old hard-throwing right-hander has already been on the injured twice in his first year in LA, and the Dodgers would prefer to have him firing on all cylinders once the postseason begins in October. He's currently dealing with right-elbow tendinitis, and the Dodgers aren't going to rush him back. Glasnow is going to require a minor-league rehab assignment before he returns, which means he probably will only provide fantasy managers with one or two more starts the rest of the way.
