Dodgers right-hander Tyler Glasnow<\/a> will rejoin the club early next week for a series against the Braves, manager Dave Roberts told reporters, including Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic<\/a>. Glasnow has missed more than three months with a back injury. He\u2019s been on the 60-day IL since June. The Dodgers currently have an opening on the 40-man roster, so no additional move will be needed as things currently stand.<\/p>\n

Glasnow got up to 77 pitches in his final rehab start with Triple-A Oklahoma City. He allowed one earned run on one hit with nine strikeouts across 5 1\/3 innings. Glasnow piled up 19 strikeouts over 11 2\/3 frames with the Comets.<\/p>\n

Lower back spasms derailed a strong start to the year for Glasnow. He posted a 2.72 ERA through seven outings to open the season. Glasnow struck out more than a third of the hitters he faced across 39 2\/3 innings. He was removed from a start against the Astros in early May with the back issue.<\/p>\n

Glasnow has dealt with injuries for the majority of his career, but had avoided a major absence in his first two seasons with L.A. The righty averaged 20 starts over the past two years. Despite missing time with back and elbow issues, Glasnow threw a career-high 134 innings in 2024 (though he missed the playoffs that year). He tossed 120 frames between the regular season and the postseason in 2025.<\/p>\n

Glasnow is expected to take the rotation spot of Justin Wrobleski<\/a>, who hit the IL with left forearm inflammation on Sunday. The lefty threw a bullpen on Saturday. Roberts said Wrobleski will return as a multi-inning reliever (h\/t Bill Plunkett of the Orange County Register<\/a>).<\/p>\n

After earning his first career All-Star selection, Wrobleski had struggled mightily in the second half. He was tagged for 19 earned runs over his final four starts before heading to the injured list. Wrobleski allowed a whopping 11 home runs in that stretch.<\/p>\n

Shohei Ohtani<\/a> was also on the mound today. He tossed 30 pitches as part of a live batting practice session. Ohtani faced off against battery mate Will Smith<\/a>, who is working his way back from a neck injury. The live BP appearance is one of the final steps for Ohtani as he eyes a return to pitching.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf it were up to Shohei, he\u2019d be in a game in a few days,\u201d Roberts said (h\/t Katie Woo of The Athletic<\/a>). \u201cI would assume (there\u2019s) another live BP, but we\u2019re going to make sure we talk to him and get with the training staff as well.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ohtani last pitched on July 3 against the Padres. He was putting together a Cy Young-caliber campaign before a knee injury forced a break from pitching. Ohtani has remained in the hitting lineup as the everyday DH while ramping up as a pitcher.<\/p>\n

Continuing the theme, closer Edwin Diaz<\/a> tossed a bullpen session today. Like Wrobleski, he\u2019s also headed for a new role. Roberts said Diaz will not be the closer when he returns. Instead, he\u2019ll work in lower-leverage spots. Diaz was placed on the IL earlier this week with neck inflammation. He blew three saves in five tries after returning from elbow surgery.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think it\u2019s more of getting him back healthy and then putting him in some softer-landing situations to get the confidence, to get the feel and the trust of executing pitches, getting major-league hitters out and then at that point in time we\u2019ll go from there,\u201d Roberts said, per Plunkett.<\/p>\n

Reliever Will Klein<\/a> has not been ruled out for the season. The righty started a throwing program as he deals with bone chips in his elbow. Klein has missed all of August with the injury, which may eventually require surgery.<\/p>\n

\u201cAt some point, you\u2019d like to get them out,\u201d Klein said, relayed by Plunkett. \u201cBut obviously if you get surgery now, the season\u2019s over. I was just sitting there thinking I didn\u2019t want that to be how this ends. So if I can deal with how it feels \u2013 a little bit of pain is fine. So if we can get it to a manageable point, clear it up and try to get through the rest of the year. I\u2019d rather do that than call it now.\u201d<\/p>\n
