Tyler Glasnow’s back injury is not the worst-case scenario Dodger fans were fearing.
According to Jack Harris of the Los Angeles Times, who caught up with the Dodgers’ starting pitcher at the MLB All-Star Game in Arlington, Texas, Glasnow is expecting to be activated as soon as he’s eligible to return from the 15-day injured list.
The 15-day. timetable would have Glasnow back on the Dodgers’ active roster by Saturday, the Dodgers’ second game of a three-game series against the Boston Red Sox.
Glasnow was diagnosed with lower back tightness after his last start, July 5 against the Milwaukee Brewers, in which he allowed five runs in six innings.
