Dodgers manager Dave Roberts was asked Thursday afternoon if he was certain Tyler Glasnow would pitch again this season.
He couldn’t say he was.
“We’re hopeful,” was the best Roberts could muster.
The notoriously delicate Glasnow is on the 15-day injured list because of elbow tendinitis. He canceled a game of catch earlier in the week and is scheduled to resume throwing Friday before the Dodgers open a four-game series against the Arizona Diamondbacks at Chase Field.
“There’s still a lot of variables to be certain,” Roberts said.
This could be a problem.
