Dodgers' Dave Roberts Gives Update on Tyler Glasnow's Return
Dodgers' Dave Roberts Gives Update on Tyler Glasnow's Return originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Los Angeles Dodgers starter Tyler Glasnow last threw a live pitch on April 27. Since then, and having thrown only 18 innings, Glasnow has been on the IL with right shoulder inflammation. Advertisement Working his way back to the roster, the 31-year-old righty has thrown his second rehab start on Friday to less-than-ideal results. Glasnow gave up five runs on seven hits and a walk, recording three strikeouts in just 2.1 innings for the Triple-A OKC Comets. This was a stark contrast from his first start, which lasted two innings and produced no runs. For manager Dave Roberts, this isn't nearly good enough. Jack Harris of the Los Angeles Times reported this on Roberts' comments in a post on X: 'Dave Roberts said the report from OKC last night was that Tyler Glasnow's stuff looked fine, but that he wasn't efficient enough. They were hoping to get him into the fourth, but he only managed 2.1 IP. That means he'll likely need at least two more rehab outings before returning.' Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Tyler Glasnow (31) pitches against the Texas Rangers during the first inning at Globe Life Miron-Imagn Images Glasnow pitched with little success when healthy this season, posting a 4.50 ERA. According to him, his bad numbers and his injury are a result of his new delivery, which he had developed intending to keep himself healthy. The one-time All-Star admitted that he hadn't really nailed it, but he's working on it. Roberts, on the other hand, is hoping Glasnow would focus less on his delivery and more on getting outs. Advertisement 'He's a very cerebral guy, mechanical, and as he's gone through this rehab, he's still thinking more internal, which is understandable," he said. "But as he starts to get out on rehab, get closer to competition, real-life game competition, my encouragement is to get more external. You're going to start trying to get hitters out rather than [focus on] where your delivery is at.'

Tyler Glasnow & Luis García pitch rehab games Sunday
A pair of Dodgers pitchers will start minor league rehab assignments on Sunday. Tyler Glasnow starts for Triple-A Oklahoma City in a game that starts at 1:35 p.m PT, and Luis García will pitch at some point for Low-A Rancho Cucamonga in a game that starts at 2 p.m. Glasnow, out since April 28 with shoulder inflammation, figures to make at least three rehab starts before a possible return to the rotation. García has been out since June 1 with a right adductor strain. Links Mookie Betts by all accounts and measures has become an above-average shortstop defensively. Jay Jaffe at FanGraphs looked into just how rare it is for a player to make such a switch in their 30s to a demanding position. Advertisement Longtime baseball writer and author Scott Miller, one of the kindest people I've ever met in the sport, died this week. Back in February, Doug Goodnough profiled Miller's 40-year career for his alma matter, Hillsdale College in Michigan. The Dodgers on Friday pledged to donate $1 million 'toward direct financial assistance for families of immigrants impacted by recent events in the region.' Protestors outside Dodger Stadium on Saturday (from Sam Blum at The Athletic) and community leaders in Los Angeles (from Jack Harris at the Los Angeles Times) have urged the Dodgers to do more. Fidel Martinez at the LA Times argued that the Dodgers should follow the lead of the Angel City Football Club soccer team in how they connected with the city of Los Angeles. During his start on Friday night, Clayton Kershaw's delivery synced up perfectly with the wave from the crowd at Dodger Stadium. Advertisement More from

Dodgers' Blake Snell gets encouraging update from Dave Roberts
The post Dodgers' Blake Snell gets encouraging update from Dave Roberts appeared first on ClutchPoints. Things are finally looking up for the Los Angeles Dodgers' starting rotation. Shohei Ohtani made his Dodgers debut on Monday, much to the joy of the fanbase. Tyler Glasnow faced live batters before Tuesday's game against the San Diego Padres. Los Angeles manager Dave Roberts added to the good news, providing an update on Blake Snell's condition after his bullpen session. Advertisement Snell has been out since April 2 and has only pitched in nine innings across two starts this season. The former Cy Young Award winner is closer to his return than ever, though, according to Roberts. Snell threw more than 20 pitches during Monday's session, a welcome sight for his manager. 'He's getting closer than he was,' Roberts said about Snell. 'He threw some breaking yesterday, which is really good to see. I'm sure he's getting closer, I don't know the date. Given what I saw yesterday, he's getting closer.' The Dodgers target early July for Snell's return to the rotation. With Ohtani back on the mound, Roberts now waits for Glasnow, Snell, and Roki Sasaki to return. Throwing bullpen sessions is a big step in the right direction for Snell, though. Advertisement The biggest story of the Dodgers' season has been their starting pitching. Yoshinobu Yamamoto stepped up for Los Angeles in a big way early in the season and is still dominant. He helped the team tread water without his fellow starters early in the season. Now that they are starting to come back, he is under much less pressure to consistently deliver. Glasnow's return is set for early July, but all three Dodgers pitchers will need rehab starts. Regardless, fans are happy to wait if it means that their starters can come back and be dominant. Even Ohtani is being slowly worked back into shape. If they all return to full health, the Dodgers' rotation is one of the most intimidating in the league. Yamamoto is one of the front-runners for the National League Cy Young Award. Kershaw and Snell have already won it. Ohtani and Glasnow throw as hard as anyone when they are right. Combined, the defending World Series champions have very few weaknesses. The Dodgers have embraced the challenge of the season. Los Angeles' players don't want to get caught in a World Series hangover, and Roberts has them playing well. The Dodgers hold a slight lead in their division, but need to step up after the Giants' big move. Advertisement Getting Snell back in the rotation is one of Roberts' biggest goals for the season. If he comes back at 100%, he is a pitcher that no team wants to see on the mound.

Dodgers Insider Provides Injury Update on Blake Snell, Tyler Glasnow
Dodgers Insider Provides Injury Update on Blake Snell, Tyler Glasnow originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Los Angeles Dodgers currently have a laundry list of starting pitchers on the shelf. Four Opening Day starters have been sidelined over the past few months: Blake Snell since early April, Tyler Glasnow since late April, Roki Sasaki since mid-May and Tony Gonsolin since early June. Three of these pitchers (Snell, Glasnow and Gonsolin) have had stints on the Dodgers' 60-day injured list at some point this season. Advertisement Snell and Glasnow – who both were transferred to the 60-day injured list in May – are the closest of the bunch to make their returns to the mound. ESPN's Alden Gonzalez, who covers the Dodgers, provided a positive update regarding both players' rehabilitation processes on Tuesday. "Blake Snell and Tyler Glasnow have made really positive steps. They've gotten off the mound; they've felt good. And it looks like they're on track to come back," Gonzalez said. "I would think that, sometime in July, Tyler Glasnow's going to come back. And shortly thereafter, if things go well, Blake Snell will come back." Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Blake Snell (7) throws a pitch against the Detroit Tigers during the first inning at Dodger Kamin-Oncea-Imagn Images Gonzalez made it clear that Glasnow and Snell coming back in July is no sure thing, especially since he recommends the Dodgers take things slow and not rush their respective rehabs. Advertisement "I will say, though, that they still have to go through a natural progression. Like, this is almost Spring Training for them," Gonzalez said. "Then, you layer on top of that the fact that it's a shoulder injury. With these shoulder injuries, they're very tricky, and you don't want to speed up the process too much because you could be set back really quickly." Gonzalez said, however, that having Snell and Glasnow back in the rotation would be a welcome sign for a pitching staff that has been ransacked by injuries and a lack of production over the past few weeks. "The Dodgers have had the misfortune of all these pitching injuries occurring at a time when they're at the toughest points of their schedule." Gonzalez said. "So, they need more starts from Clayton Kershaw like the one he just gave them. They need [Yoshinobu] Yamamoto back to come back to being the guy he was in April, not the guy he has been lately."

Dodgers Announce Roki Sasaki News After Red Sox Trade
Dodgers Announce Roki Sasaki News After Red Sox Trade originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Los Angeles Dodgers currently own the National League's best record at 46-30, holding on to sole possession of first place in the NL West after taking three straight series wins against division rivals—two against San Diego Padres and one against the San Francisco Giants. Advertisement The club's offense has been firing on all cylinders as of late, producing 53 runs over a ten-game stretch, a performance that has been especially crucial given that their starting rotation has been decimated by injuries to All-Stars Tyler Glasnow and Tony Gonsolin, two-time Cy Young Award winner Blake Snell, and Japanese rookie sensation Roki Sasaki. Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Roki Sasaki (11)Mark J. Rebilas-Imagn Images Amid high hopes for Sasaki, his progress was halted following an outing against Arizona Diamondbacks when he began experiencing shoulder discomfort. As a result, the Dodgers made the move to place him on the injured list on May 13, and today made an announcement regarding the right-hander's status moving forward following a trade with the Boston Red Sox. Advertisement The official Dodgers statement read, 'The Dodgers acquired LHP Zach Penrod from the Red Sox for cash considerations. In order to make room on the roster, the Dodgers transferred RHP Roki Sasaki to the 60-day injured list.' Sasaki made the decision to sign with the Dodgers in the offseason, drawn by the organization's pitching development and the ability to team up with Japanese superstars Shohei Ohtani and Yoshinobu Yamamoto. In his MLB tenure thus far, he has made eight starts, posting a 1–1 record with a 4.72 ERA and a 1.49 WHIP while striking out 24 batters in 34⅓ innings pitched. Although his numbers have not yet fully reflected his potential, the team remains optimistic that once he recovers, his dynamic pitching will be a critical asset in their pursuit of another championship.
