The Los Angeles Dodgers have officially placed starting pitcher Tyler Glasnow on the injured list due to right elbow tendinitis, marking yet another setback for the National League powerhouse. This injury comes at a critical juncture in the season for the team, which has been battling various player injuries.
This marks Glasnow’s second stint on the injured list this season. The 31-year-old pitcher had previously been sidelined with back tightness, further complicating his contributions to the team’s pitching rotation.
In response to Glasnow’s absence, the Dodgers have recalled left-handed pitcher Justin Wrobleski from their minor league affiliate. Wrobleski is set to take the mound on Friday night against the St. Louis Cardinals, a crucial game for the Dodgers as they work to maintain their competitive edge.
This will be Wrobleski’s fifth start of the season with the Dodgers. Entering Friday’s matchup, he boasts a 4.05 ERA over 20 innings pitched, showcasing his potential to fill the gap left by Glasnow’s injury. As the Dodgers navigate this challenging period, fans will be keen to see how Wrobleski performs against a formidable Cardinals lineup.
