The Dodgers will welcome Tyler Glasnow back on Wednesday, manager Dave Roberts told reporters (including MLB.com’s Sonja Chen). He’ll take the ball opposite veteran southpaw Jose Quintana in the series finale against the Brewers. Glasnow is on the 60-day injured list, meaning the Dodgers will need to create a 40-man roster spot within the next two days.
Glasnow has been out since late April with inflammation in his throwing shoulder. He had made five starts before the injury, surrendering nine runs across 18 innings. Glasnow punched out 23 hitters but issued 11 walks and surrendered four home runs. The Dodgers shut him down for a couple weeks before he built back into game shape. He has been at Triple-A Oklahoma City on a rehab assignment since June 22. Glasnow allowed eight runs in 8 2/3 innings over three minor league appearances. He struck out eight while throwing 78 pitches in 4 1/3 frames during his final rehab start last Thursday.
The Dodgers will give Glasnow five days rest leading up to his return to the MLB rotation. He’s likely to be limited to a 4-5 inning appearance in his first outing. That’ll be his only appearance before the All-Star Break, so he’ll have plenty of time off before he next toes the rubber. Dustin May, who had initially been scheduled to pitch on Wednesday, will move back to Friday’s series opener in San Francisco.
Los Angeles has used Yoshinobu Yamamoto, Clayton Kershaw and Shohei Ohtani alongside May in the rotation. They recalled Emmet Sheehan to start yesterday against the Astros. Sheehan could be optioned back to OKC to clear an active roster spot for Glasnow. They’ve limited Ohtani to 1-2 inning appearances after his return from elbow surgery. Ben Casparius is capable of working multiple innings out of the bullpen and could pitch behind Ohtani in a piggyback setup.
