The Los Angeles Dodgers continue to perform at a high level despite battling multiple injuries. Closer Edwin Diaz and starter Tyler Glasnow are among the Dodgers dealing with injury concerns at the moment. Glasnow is battling back spasms, while Diaz has been out since April due to loose bodies in his elbow. The latest updates on Diaz and Glasnow’s injury statuses were recently revealed, via MLB.com.
Diaz could “possibly” return in July, although nothing is guaranteed right now. The star reliever is expected to throw a bullpen this week, which is certainly an encouraging sign. Still, Diaz is seemingly at least a few weeks away from returning, and he may miss more time than that. The Dodgers hope to have him available for the stretch run before the postseason at the very least.
Glasnow, meanwhile, is not expected to return until mid-July at the “earliest.” He has reportedly “made little progress” and is not throwing at the moment. One has to imagine the Glasnow injury update could impact the Dodgers’ trade deadline plans, as they may have more motivation to acquire another starter for depth purposes.
Los Angeles has been able to find success despite the injury concerns. Regardless, the Dodgers would obviously love for the players to return sooner rather than later. Updates will continue to be monitored and provided on Edwin Diaz and Tyler Glasnow’s injury statuses as they are made available.
On Tuesday, the Dodgers are set to host the Tampa Bay Rays once again at 10:10 PM EST after defeating them on Monday by a final score of 4-3.
