PITTSBURGH -- Four days after Pirates top prospect Tyler Glasnow exited his second Major League start with discomfort in his throwing arm, head athletic trainer Todd Tomczyk said he envisions the right-hander being able to pick up a baseball in the coming days.
Glasnow did not undergo an MRI or any kind of scan, but he did experience inflammation in the shoulder. He was placed on the 15-day disabled list Sunday, which means he would be eligible to be activated on Aug. 8.
Tomczyk said the injury occurred during Glasnow's second start on Saturday and was not pre-existing.
