Tyler Glasnow Unlikely to Return This Season

Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Tyler Glasnow is highly unlikely to return this season after suffering a sprained right elbow during warmups for a simulated game. Glasnow has been sidelined since mid-August with elbow tendinitis, marking another setback in an injury-plagued career that includes Tommy John surgery in 2021. This injury compounds the Dodgers' rotation woes, as they are also missing Clayton Kershaw and Gavin Stone. The Dodgers, currently battling for postseason positioning, had hoped Glasnow would return to boost their pitching staff. Glasnow has posted a 3.49 ERA and 168 strikeouts in 22 starts this season. His availability for the postseason remains uncertain, pending further medical evaluations.
