He’s also dealt with body soreness that has reportedly “slowed down” his recovery process.
Dodgers pitcher Tyler Glasnow spoke with reporters Tuesday and, according to The Athletic’s Fabian Ardaya, “Downplayed the ‘general body soreness’ manager Dave Roberts mentioned earlier in the week.”
“Glasnow said his shoulder feels good and that he plans to throw another bullpen session later this week,” Ardaya added.
