Dodgers' Tyler Glasnow Shuts Down Injury Update That Dave Roberts Gives

This hasn't stopped the red-hot Los Angeles team, as they continue to stand atop the NL West with one of the best records in baseball.

At 36-24, manager Dave Roberts and team have slowly been awaiting the return of a long list of injured pitchers.

Tyler Glasnow 'downplays' injury report that Dave Roberts makes

Right-handed starter Tyler Glasnow hasn't seen the mound since late April after sustaining a shoulder injury in an April 27 matchup against the Pittsburgh Pirates.

He's also dealt with body soreness that has reportedly "slowed down" his recovery process.

Dodgers pitcher Tyler Glasnow spoke with reporters Tuesday and, according to The Athletic's Fabian Ardaya, "Downplayed the 'general body soreness' manager Dave Roberts mentioned earlier in the week."

"Glasnow said his shoulder feels good and that he plans to throw another bullpen session later this week," Ardaya added.

Although the 31-year-old pitcher is listed on the 60-day injured list, the news that he told makes it seem that he's headed in the right direction to make a comeback sometime in 2025.

Injuries have been a consistent pattern for the second-year Dodgers pitcher as he wasn't able to pitch during Los Angeles' postseason run last October due to right elbow tendinitis.

He is currently playing on a five-year, $135.5 million contract he signed with the Dodgers before the 2024 season.

Dave Roberts and the Los Angeles Dodgers will look to take on the New York Mets on Tuesday in the second of four games between two of the NL's best teams.
