The Los Angeles Dodgers have restructured their pitching roster, highlighting Tyler Glasnow as a key player after his All-Star season was marred by injury. Glasnow's impressive stats include 134 innings pitched and a 3.49 ERA before elbow tendinitis ended his 2024 season early. Manager Dave Roberts emphasized Glasnow's effort to stay healthy by adopting a more natural pitching style, moving away from a mechanical approach. The Dodgers' pitching depth is further bolstered by the addition of Blake Snell and Roki Sasaki, enhancing competition for the starting rotation.
"I think with Tyler, my opinion is he gets too mechanical at times and not let his natural athleticism and compete kind of drive his outing," Roberts said.
"The main thing with Tyler is after starts, and sometimes during starts, he didn't feel comfortable with his arm and there was some residual (discomfort)," Roberts said.
"It's really free and easy and he's recovering really well," said Roberts on Glasnow's progress this spring.
Recovery will be huge for the right-hander, and with such a stacked pitching rotation, something that may be more of an option this season.
