As scheduled, right-hander Tyler Glasnow threw a bullpen session Tuesday afternoon.
According to Los Angeles manager Dave Roberts, Glasnow was “ripping the fastball” and utilized his full range of pitches. The next phase in his recovery from elbow tendinitis will involve facing hitters in a simulated game on Friday in Atlanta.
If all goes well in the simulated game, Roberts indicated that Glasnow might rejoin the Dodgers’ rotation as early as next week, although his pitch count will be monitored closely.
“To get him in a major-league game is the priority,” Roberts told Bill Plunkett of the Orange County Register, aware there is only time left in the regular season for Glasnow to make three starts before the postseason.
