Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Tyler Glasnow experienced a setback during a simulated game on Friday, signaling discomfort in his right elbow that had previously landed him on the injured list in August. The extent of his injury and his future availability for the rest of the season remains uncertain as he undergoes evaluations by the team’s medical staff. This setback adds to a series of injuries Glasnow has faced throughout his career, including Tommy John surgery in 2021. The Dodgers, who are already dealing with a depleted pitching staff with key players like Gavin Stone and Clayton Kershaw also on the injured list, are now facing uncertainty in their rotation plans for the upcoming postseason. The team had hoped for Glasnow to build up his pitch count in preparation for potential postseason appearances, but now that path is unclear. With time running short and many variables at play, including other injured pitchers, the Dodgers are facing a challenging road ahead in solidifying their rotation. Manager Dave Roberts expressed concern over the situation but remains hopeful for a positive outcome as the team navigates through the latest setback.
