Los Angeles Dodgers right-hander Tyler Glasnow is on track to rejoin the team's rotation after a highly effective rehab start on Wednesday for the Oklahoma City Comets. Glasnow retired 16 of the 18 batters he faced, including an 11-hit batter streak, and recorded nine strikeouts over 5.1 innings. He allowed one run, though it was not charged to him.
Mgr. Dave Roberts confirmed that this would be Glasnow's final rehab outing before his return to the Dodgers. Glasnow was placed on the injured list in May due to back spasms, and prior to that, he had posted a 3-0 record with a 2.72 ERA in seven starts.
Glasnow's imminent return bolsters a formidable Dodgers rotation that already includes Yoshinobu Yamamoto and Blake Snell. The team also awaits the return of two-way star Shohei Ohtani, who has made progress in his recovery. Since his trade to the Dodgers in 2023, Glasnow has battled various injuries each season. However, his performance in this rehab start suggests he is fully ramped up and ready to contribute to the Dodgers' pursuit of a third consecutive World Series title. The strength of the rotation is expected to be a key factor for the team heading into the postseason.
