The Los Angeles Dodgers are leading the National League West standings while dealing with injuries to key pitchers, including Tyler Glasnow, Blake Snell, Roki Sasaki, and Blake Treinen. Michael Kopech recently went on the injured list due to knee inflammation. Glasnow is making progress in his rehabilitation with hopes of returning to the rotation soon. Snell has shown improved fastball velocity and is set to pitch to batters, marking a significant step in his recovery. Sasaki is also making strides in his recovery, contributing positively to the Dodgers' pitching plans.
Tyler Glasnow is scheduled to make a third start for Triple-A Oklahoma City on his rehab assignment. He completed two scoreless innings on June 22 but struggled five days later and failed to meet the goal of getting through four. The Dodgers hope for Glasnow to throw 75 pitches over five innings on Thursday. That could then be followed by a return to the Dodgers' rotation, though manager Dave Roberts wasn't ready to declare as much.
Blake Snell's fastball velocity reached the mid-90s over the weekend and he continued to play catch from flat ground on Tuesday. Next is Snell pitching to batters on Wednesday, which will mark his first time doing so since going on the injured list April 6 with left shoulder inflammation.
Roki Sasaki played catch on Tuesday and threw with more intent than what was previously seen. His recovery progress has contributed to a positive outlook for the Dodgers' pitching staff.
