Dodgers' Tyler Glasnow Returns to Rotation Wednesday

The Los Angeles Dodgers are set to welcome pitcher Tyler Glasnow back to their starting rotation on Wednesday against the Milwaukee Brewers after more than two months on the injured list due to right shoulder inflammation. Glasnow, who has struggled with injuries throughout his career including Tommy John surgery in 2021, had a 4.50 ERA with 23 strikeouts and 11 walks in 18 innings over five starts this season before his injury. His return will come with a cautious pitch count as he continues to recover, having recently completed rehab starts without setbacks, though with some mixed performance. Additionally, utilityman Enrique Hernández was placed on the 15-day injured list with left elbow inflammation, impacting a player known for his versatility across multiple positions. The Dodgers have faced numerous pitching injuries this season, making Glasnow's return a critical boost to the rotation just ahead of the All-Star break. Manager Dave Roberts emphasized the importance of Glasnow's start as a stepping stone to a healthier second half for the veteran right-hander and the team.
