It's incredible that the Los Angeles Dodgers continue to win games in such a consistent manner.
At 55-32 and 8-2 over their last 10, the Dodgers continue to show why they're arguably the best team in baseball. All they've done is win over much of the past decade, and that's without factoring in the many injuries that they've dealt with.
One can only wonder if the Dodgers need some of the players they've acquired who have injuries.
One of them is Tyler Glasnow, who simply hasn't been on the mound for Los Angeles when it needs him most over the past year and a half.
Glasnow is again injured, having not thrown in a big league game since April 27. He's currently on a rehab assignment in Oklahoma City, but according to a report from Jack Harris, there are some worries about when he might return to the big league level.
“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,” he wrote.
Ideally, the Dodgers will get Glasnow back before the end of the campaign. It's tough to continue losing arms the way they have, but again, all the Dodgers have done since is win.
However, when things get tough in the postseason, not having a player of Glasnow’s caliber is a bit difficult.
He's struggled for parts of his Dodgers career, allowing nine earned runs in 18.0 innings for them this campaign, but for much of his career, he's been as dominant as they get around baseball when he's healthy.
