Tyler Glasnow Could Resume Playing Catch Soon
Los Angeles Dodgers right-hander Tyler Glasnow (back) is beginning to feel better, so he could resume playing catch soon, according to MLB.com. Glasnow was placed on the 15-day injured list with lower-back spasms on May 8 and was then transferred to the 60-day IL on June 6, which means he won't be eligible to return until at least mid-July, around the All-Star break. The Dodgers thought the hard-throwing 32-year-old wouldn't need a lengthy absence, but Glasnow has been slow to recover and might not rejoin L.A.'s starting rotation until the second half of the season, depending on how quickly he can ramp up his throwing program. The Dodgers aren't going to rush him back, so fantasy managers will need to be patient. Despite all the missed time, fantasy managers need to keep Glasnow stashed everywhere for his strikeout upside on one of the best teams in baseball. Before his injury, he was pitching well, too, going 3-0 with a 2.72 ERA (3.26 FIP) and 0.83 WHIP with 49 strikeouts and 13 walks in 39 2/3 innings over his seven starts in his third year with the Dodgers. Glasnow should not be available on any waiver wires.
