Tyler Glasnow was always a high-risk, high-reward player when the Los Angeles Dodgers acquired him in December. On Saturday, the risk the Dodgers took on Glasnow, not to mention the $136.5 million invested in the right-hander, proved to be in vain.
Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said the latest MRI scans revealed the 31-year-old pitcher had an elbow sprain. The news essentially confirmed Glasnow wouldn’t be making a return to the mound this season.
“It’s a big blow,” Roberts told Jack Harris of The Los Angeles Times. “Looking at what he meant for our ball club, what he’s done for us, what we expected him to do, certainly there’s going to be a cost.
