Manager Dave Roberts said Saturday that Glasnow has a sprained right elbow, and it's unlikely he returns this season, David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports.
The news of Glasnow's sprain comes as somewhat of a surprise, considering Roberts previously said that initial scans on the right-hander's elbow were "promising." He'll be shut down from throwing for the time being, and although he hasn't officially been ruled out for the season yet, it's likely the only way he pitches again in 2024 is if the Dodgers make a deep postseason run.

Rotowire
Glasnow (elbow) will face hitters in a simulated game over the weekend, Juan Toribio of MLB.com reports.

Dodgers' Tyler Glasnow: Tossing another bullpen Tuesday
Rotowire
Glasnow (elbow) is scheduled to throw a bullpen session Tuesday followed by a simulated game Friday, Jack Harris of the Los Angeles Times reports.
This is another step in the right direction for Glasnow, who successfully fired a 25-pitch bullpen session Saturday. If he's able to get through Tuesday's bullpen and Friday's sim game without issue, the right-hander could be sent out on a rehab assignment as early as next week.

Dodgers' Tyler Glasnow: Throws off mound
Rotowire
Glasnow (elbow) threw a 25-pitch bullpen session Saturday, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.
Saturday marks the first time Glasnow has thrown off a mound since he landed on the injured list in mid-August due to right elbow tendinitis. He's not expected to make it back to the Dodgers before mid-September, but the fact he's back on a mound is a good indication of progress. The 31-year-old righty will presumably throw a few more bullpen sessions before progressing to live batting practice.

Rotowire
Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said Saturday that Glasnow (elbow) could return to Los Angeles' rotation in mid-September in a "best-case scenario," per MLB.com.
Glasnow landed on the injured list for the second time this season Aug. 16 due to right elbow tendinitis. He played catch both Friday and Saturday and said after the latter session that he is "confident" he will return to the Dodgers' rotation before the end of the season, per Jack Harris of the Los Angeles Times. Roberts previously stated that Glasnow will require a minor-league rehab assignment prior to a potential activation, and the ace pitcher's timeline suggests that, at maximum, he could pitch in three more regular-season games ahead of the playoffs.

Dodgers' Tyler Glasnow: Set to resume throwing
Rotowire
Glasnow (elbow) will play catch Friday, Juan Toribio of MLB.com reports.

Dodgers' Tyler Glasnow: Will require rehab assignment
Rotowire
Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said Tuesday that Glasnow's progress from his elbow injury has been "slow moving" and indicated that the hurler will need a rehab assignment prior to returning, per Dodger Blue.
When Glasnow landed on the injured list Aug. 16, the level of concern about the right-hander was relatively low, especially considering that Glasnow said that he pushed the team not to place him on the IL or even to skip his start. However, there's now at least a bit more worry given that the All-Star hurler has made slower-than-expected progress. Glasnow did begin a throwing program this past weekend, and even with a rehab assignment a necessity before he can return to the Dodgers' rotation, it's possible that he could be back with the big club in mid-September.
Dave Roberts said Saturday that Glasnow (elbow) played catch from 60 feet and Glasnow's absence will be longer than originally expected, David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports.
Glasnow was placed on the injured list Aug. 16 with right elbow tendinitis and was able to resume a throwing program Saturday. While his absence will extend into September, Roberts expressed optimism Glasnow will pitch again during the regular season. Bobby Miller has stepped into Glasnow's spot in the rotation.
Manager Dave Roberts said Wednesday that Glasnow (elbow) has yet to begin playing catch, Jack Harris of the Los Angeles Times reports.
The skipper added that Glasnow likely won't be activated once he's eligible to come off the injured list Aug. 31, but the team's concern is still relatively low. A clearer return timeline for the 30-year-old right-hander may emerge once he's able to begin a throwing program.
