Dodgers Injury Update: Hernández Nears Return, Glasnow Lags
16 Jun
Summary
- Teoscar Hernández is nearing a return from a hamstring strain in under three weeks.
- Tyler Glasnow remains sidelined with back spasms and has made no progress.
- The Dodgers rotation is adapting to absences with contributions from other pitchers.
Teoscar Hernández is on the cusp of returning to the Dodgers lineup, showing remarkable recovery from a hamstring strain sustained less than three weeks ago. Manager Dave Roberts reported that Hernández is strong, showing good foot speed, and participated in pregame activities including batting practice. He might start a minor-league rehab assignment this weekend if his progress continues positively.
Conversely, Dodgers All-Star pitcher Tyler Glasnow is experiencing a prolonged recovery from back spasms. Over a month after initially leaving a game due to the issue, Glasnow is reportedly "not doing anything" and has made minimal progress. This marks another setback in Glasnow's injury-plagued career.
The Dodgers' pitching rotation has shown resilience despite the absences of Glasnow and Blake Snell, who is also recovering from elbow surgery. Contributions from Justin Wrobleski, Roki Sasaki, and Eric Lauer have helped fill the gaps. Separately, Tommy Edman is slated to be activated from the injured list on Tuesday after recovering from ankle surgery.
