Tyler Glasnow reveals extensive update on elbow injury following return to Dodgers

The Los Angeles Dodgers will face the New York Yankees in Games 1 and 2 of the World Series on Friday and Saturday without a key starting pitcher.

While his teammates are ready to win the title, Tyler Glasnow is preparing for 2025.

Glasnow has been on the bench since August with elbow inflammation, marking his second appearance on the injured list this season. The Dodgers were optimistic about his return in the postseason, but his elbow had not healed sufficiently. When it became clear that he would not be ready in time, he was officially ruled out of the season in mid-September.

Despite his absence, The mentioned Glasnow that his elbow feels much better now.

“I just had my re-scan done, I haven’t had my photo taken in a month and it looks like the wound is completely healed… I’m just excited to be ready for next year,” Glasnow said on the show Nasty territory.

Glasnow also detailed what his offseason might look like while recovering and rehabbing.

“It healed quickly and looks really good,” Glasnow said of his elbow. “The only thing I will change in the off-season is that I will continue to maintain a good arm. I will be practicing plyo starting in November and will be throwing twice a week, probably throughout the off-season. When I return to spring in December, January and February, I will start to return to my normal lifestyle. I don’t think I’ll be taking a long break or a few months off from throwing this year. I’m just going to keep working and try to get the tissue used to this load.”

This season, Glasnow posted a 9-6 record with a 3.49 ERA in 22 starts, setting career highs in both strikeouts (168) and runs scored (134). However, he landed on the 15-day injured list on August 16 due to elbow discomfort.

Glasnow also dealt with a back injury during the All-Star break, but noted that his elbow felt fine until his final two starts in early August. During this time, he felt that he was “sort of mechanically getting out of trouble.” He added: “It was just like regular soreness, nothing to worry about.”

“I have such a long extension that I can put weight on my arm” – Glasnow said. “If there is a way I can shorten certain parts of the delivery or make the delivery more efficient at each start and keep it as consistent as possible throughout the season, I will try it. I want to position my arm in a good place to relieve the tension in my elbow.
