Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Tyler Glasnow advances rehab assignment

Tyler Glasnow, the right‑handed pitcher for the Los Angeles Dodgers, has begun a live‑batting‑practice session at Dodger Stadium as the first step toward a minor‑league rehab assignment. The session follows a series of bullpen outings that have helped him regain strength after nearly three months on the injured list with lower‑back spasms.

Manager Dave Roberts said the Dodgers are proceeding cautiously and hope Glasnow can join a Minor League affiliate for a full rehab stint later this week. If his progress continues, the team projects a possible activation in the second half of August, though the timeline remains flexible. Glasnow entered the season with a 3‑0 record, a 2.72 ERA, a 0.83 WHIP and an impressive strikeout rate before the injury sidelined him.

The Dodgers view his health as a key factor for their postseason aspirations, aiming to avoid a trade‑deadline scramble for a frontline starter should Glasnow return to form.
