Tyler Glasnow To Start Against Royals On Friday
2 years agoTampa Bay Rays right-hander Tyler Glasnow is in line to open up on the mound for the team to start the second half of the season on Friday against the Kansas City Royals. Glasnow left his final start of the first half early on July 7 against the Atlanta Braves due to cramps in his hand and legs, but it was nothing serious and he'll be ready to roll to kick off the weekend series against KC after having the All-Star break to rest up. Against one of the weaker hitting teams in the big leagues, the 29-year-old will be a must-start in fantasy lineups as he kicks off the second half. Glasnow was on a nice little run to end the first half and is currently 2-3 with a 4.10 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and 64 strikeouts in 41 2/3 innings over his eight starts in 2023.

Tyler Glasnow Fans Eight, Earns Win In Season Debut
7 days agoLos 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.

Tyler Glasnow Facing Hitters On Tuesday
2 months agoLos 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
2 months agoAccording 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
6 months agoLos 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.
