I had no idea he would be so free. Tyler Glasnow (32), a pitcher who was acquired by the Los Angeles Dodgers through a trade and gave away a huge amount of extended contract, is facing a protracted absence as he cannot promise to return to the team.안전놀이터
Local media in the U.S., including the "LA Times," said on the 3rd (Korea Standard Time) that it was impossible to estimate when Glasnow, who is on the injured list due to right shoulder inflammation, will return. Glasnow was placed on the 15-day injured list after being taken out after one inning due to shoulder pain against the Pittsburgh Pirates on April 28, and even more than a month later, the return schedule has not been released. As of the 1st, he was transferred to the 60-day injured list.
I wondered if he would prepare to return to the mound by pitching in the bullpen on April 24, but the situation has been put on hold again. "Glasnow is playing catch, but it is uncertain when he will be able to take the mound again. It's not about his shoulder, but his overall reaction is not good. It's about his overall physical condition," Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said on Sunday. "After pitching in the bullpen, I felt a little uncomfortable, and we stopped right away. My entire body aches even more after pitching in the bullpen."
Roberts said, "Like all of us, Glasnow himself is very frustrated. Until now, the process of returning to the mound has not been smooth at all. I threw a bullpen session once, but my body has not reacted, and I am wondering when I can increase the intensity again. He is desperate to come back and wants to help the team."
The LA Times reported, "Given his frequent injury history, it is not surprising that Glasnow has suffered such setbacks. He has never started more than 22 games or thrown more than 134 innings in a single season. After moving to Dodgers last year, he pitched career-high (134 innings as 22 starters), but his attempt to return to the playoffs fell through as his elbow tendinitis did not recover in August."
Glasnow is a pitcher who has been injured throughout his career. Glasnow, who was traded to the Tampa Bay Rays during the 2018 season after making his major league debut with the Pittsburgh Pirates in 2016, jumped to the ace in 2019. The average 97 mph (156.1 km) four-seam fastball ball from 203 centimeters tall is amazing, but there has never been a regular innings season due to large and small injuries every year.
He was out for the season due to Tommy John surgery on his elbow in August 2021, and his start was delayed by more than a month due to a rotator cuff injury ahead of the opening in 2023. There was a big question mark over his durability, but the Dodgers quickly gave him a five-year, $136.5 million contract extension after bringing in Glasnow in a trade in December 2023. He was caught in a long-term contract before becoming a free agent.
He played as the first starter until June last year without leaving the rotation, but was listed as the injured due to back pain at the end of the first half of July, showing signs of anxiety. After returning to the team, he had to leave the team again due to tendinitis in his elbow in four games, and the season ended as his return was delayed. He finished his first season with the Dodgers with nine wins and six losses and an earned run average of 3.49 strikeouts in 22 games (134 innings). This year, he had one win and an earned run average of 4.50 strikeouts in five games (18 innings), which is not very good either. The injury gap is prolonged, and the Dodgers can feel as if they have been signed a fraudulent contract.
It is also a pity for the Dodgers that a pitcher who left the Dodgers with Glasnow's trade card has exploded in potential. Right-hander Ryan Pepio (28), who played for the Dodgers for two years after his Major League debut in 2022, was traded to Tampa Bay after being traded to Glasnow for the Dodgers, pitched in compliance with the record of eight wins and eight losses with an earned run average of 3.60 strikeouts and 142 pitches in 26 games (130 innings) last year.
Against this backdrop, he has displayed even better performance this year by posting 12 games (70 innings) with three wins and five losses and 3.21 strikeouts with 56 ERA. He has continued pitching at ace level in six games (36 innings) in May, surpassing Glasnow by posting 2.25 ERA. Dodgers, which already has many injured pitchers in its starting lineup, is agonizing in many ways.
