Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Tyler Glasnow to get an extra day of rest before facing the St. Louis Cardinals.
Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Tyler Glasnow will start on Saturday against the St. Louis Cardinals instead of Friday. Glasnow was originally expected to start Friday on four days of rest, but the team is granting him an extra fifth day of rest.Dodgers manager Dave Roberts noted that the team is considering a few options at pitcher to fill in for Glasnow, including Justin Wrobleski. The 24-year-old Wrobleski has started four games for Los Angeles this season, going 0-1 with a 4.
The Dodgers' ace, who was traded to the team from the Tampa Bay Rays this past offseason, was on the injured list earlier this season with lower back tightness. While Glasnow did not spend extensive time on the IL, the Dodgers do want to prioritize keeping the starting pitchers they do have available healthy.
I have tried to educate people on this all year -- they already use 6-man rotation. Using off days on schedule, spot starts from minor-league callups, bullpen gamesstarter has gone on 4 days rest total of 7 times this season -- Stone 3 times, no one else more than onceRyan's Tommy John surgery was just the latest among myriad injuries the Dodgers have endured to their bullpen this season.
While the Dodgers have been able to withstand these injuries through the regular season, they are looking to avoid any more as the postseason nears, and keep arms like Glasnow's as rested as they can.
