Dodgers general manager Brandon Gomes provided the latest update on starting pitcher Tyler Glasnow at the Winter Meetings in Dallas. Glasnow was sidelined in September because of a sprained elbow after an injury saga that began the month prior.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe\u2019s feeling good,\u201d Gomes said. \u201cEverything we\u2019re hearing from our doctors is he\u2019s in a great place.\u201d<\/p>\n
Gomes said he saw an encouraging video of the right-hander recently. Glasnow recently began his throwing program, but the real test will come closer to spring training.<\/p>\n
\u201cThat\u2019s true of any pitcher going into the offseason,\u201d Gomes said. \u201cYou don\u2019t know a ton until they step on the mound, but our expectation is there won\u2019t be an issue as he builds up.\u201d<\/p>\n
Glasnow, 30, had a stellar first season in a Dodgers uniform, but it concluded with a heartbreaking injury. The right-hander was placed on the 15-day injured list on Aug. 16. At the time, the decision to place Glasnow on the injured list seemed like a precaution in preparation of the postseason.<\/p>\n
However, what was once elbow tendinitis ended up being a more severe injury. Glasnow sported a 3.49 ERA and a 9-6 record in his first season with Los Angeles. The right-hander threw a career-high 168 strikeouts across 134 innings.<\/p>\n
Although Glasnow put up solid numbers, the Dodgers\u2019 ace missed the entire postseason. When the Dodgers traded for Glasnow and spent $136.5 million, there was some risk involved as he had previously dealt with injuries throughout his time with the Tampa Bay Rays.<\/p>\n
However, if his recovery goes well, Glasnow should be ready to take the mound in the Tokyo series season opener against the Chicago Cubs. The Dodgers 2025 starting rotation will include a handful of aces, including Glasnow, Blake Snell, Yoshinobu Yamamoto, and Shohei Ohtani.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
