Tyler Glasnow is feeling “extremely frustrated” about being unable to play in the postseason with the Los Angeles Dodgers because of an elbow injury Tyler Glasnow throws to the plate during the first inning of a baseball game The Dodgers are making their 12th straight postseason appearance, while All-Star pitcher Tyler Glasnow is dealing with another elbow injury that has cut short his first season with Los Angeles. The 31-year-old right-hander said on Friday that his elbow sprain didn’t need any more tests and he’s hopeful he won’t need surgery. “It’s extremely frustrating,” Glasnow said. “I wanted to come here to win a World Series and pitch in the postseason.” He went on the injured list on August 16 due to elbow tendinitis. Glasnow was on his way back when he threw a few warmup pitches in a simulated game in Atlanta last week but felt “something was just not right in my arm,” so he decided to stop. “Just knew it would have been dumb to keep throwing on it,” he said. Glasnow had Tommy John surgery in 2022 and then made 21 starts and pitched 120 innings last year with the Tampa Bay Rays. This season, he surpassed those numbers with career highs of 22 starts and 134 innings pitched before his last start on August 11. He averaged 11.3 strikeouts per nine innings. Glasnow mentioned that his delivery mechanics are fine, but at 6 feet 8 inches tall, he thinks his long extension puts a lot of stress on his arm. “I’m just trying to figure out something to get my arm to a good spot to try and relieve some of the tension in my elbow,” he said. “I guess I’m just trying to figure all that out and implement it through the offseason and next season.” The Los Angeles Dodgers are postseason-bound for the 12th consecutive season. They will play in October once again, and this time, they will look to finish the job. L.A. has fallen short every single time since reaching the mountain top in 2020. Thanks to the addition of the basketball unicorn, Shohei Ohtani, things should be different this season. Ohtani is now a Dodger and will play for the first time in his career in October. While he has no experience in October, his play will determine whether or not L.A. will win it all. Ohtani is set to play in his first postseason game soon; however, we likely won’t see his full arsenal on display. The 30-year-old superstar likely won’t pitch in October, although there is some chatter that he may. It depends on who you ask. If you ask USA Today baseball columnist Bob Nightengale, as did our very own Doug McKain, he says there is ‘no chance’ Ohtani pitches. “No chance. Just doesn’t make sense. He just had surgery last September. You’re talking 12 months. Too much money is invested in him to take that risk. Not only did Nightengale say Ohtani was not going to pitch, but he also added that it wouldn’t work logistically. “And besides, I’m not quite sure how that would work. Say you want to bring him into a save situation. Well, what if his turn at-bat is in the bottom of the eighth inning? Is he going to go to the mound without any warmup? What if he’s warming up during his turn at-bat? He’d be called out on a delay, three strikes. I don’t know how that would work logistically.” Post navigation BREAKING: Dodgers lose star outfielder to Cardinals in free agency After… La salida triste: el destacado primer base de los Dodgers deja el equipo debido a problemas polémicos con…
