Dodgers’ Tyler Glasnow Provides Aggressive Timeline For Return

Tyler Glasnow’s back injury is not the worst-case scenario Dodger fans were fearing.

According to Jack Harris of the Los Angeles Times, who caught up with the Dodgers’ starting pitcher at the MLB All-Star Game in Arlington, Texas, Glasnow is expecting to be activated as soon as he’s eligible to return from the 15-day injured list.

The 15-day timetable would have Glasnow back on the Dodgers’ active roster by Saturday, the Dodgers’ second game of a three-game series against the Boston Red Sox.

Glasnow was diagnosed with lower back tightness after his last start, July 5 against the Milwaukee Brewers, in which he allowed five runs in six innings.

Overall this season, Glasnow is 8-5 with a 3.47 ERA in 18 starts. Although he has a fairly long injury history over his career, he was one of two members of the Dodgers’ season-opening starting rotation who had managed to avoid the IL all season — until this month. Gavin Stone is the other.

Glasnow was named to the National League pitching staff on July 6, but will not participate in the game because of his injury.
