Pittsburgh isn't expected to recall Glasnow for a Sunday start as the 22-year-old continues to struggle with his control. "When you're averaging (five) walks a game, that's a number you have to pay attention to," manager Clint Hurdle told the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review. "He has to shave that down, because there are plenty of pitchers with big arms who get up here and that's part of the challenge. Tyler is aware of it. It's definitely at the top of his to-do list."
He hasn't allowed a single hit in his last two starts covering 13 innings, but has walked 11 batters. "He's still so young," Pirates rookie catcher Jacob Stallings said of Glasnow. "And he's so tall (6-feet-8) and lanky that sometimes it's hard to get those body parts synced up consistently. I think that's what he's dealing with more than anything else, just learning how to grow into his body. His stuff is always there. I mean, no hits -- that shows you what you need to know. He's still getting better and coming into his own."
