LAD ace Glasnow injured

Los Angeles Dodgers ace Tyler Glasnow (30) has been placed on the disabled list due to back pain. As a result, Cincinnati Reds pitcher Hunter Green (24) has been urgently selected as an All-Star in the National League.

Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said on the 10th (Korea time) that "Glasnow is on the IL due to back pain." Roberts said, "It will not be a long-term absence," adding, "I don't think MRI examination is necessary."

Glasnow felt pain in his back during the catch on the 9th, and the Dodgers put him on the IL due to the All-Star break. As a result, Glasnow is expected to miss only one game during the two-week rest period.

Glasnow, who has a 3.47 ERA and 143 strikeouts in 18 starts this season, was named the first All-Star in his career on the 9th. However, this injury prevented him from playing in the All-Star Game. Glasnow, who had been injured frequently even before joining the Dodgers, has played 109 innings this season, which is already close to his personal maximum (120 innings).

Instead, Cincinnati's Hunter Green was selected as an All-Star for the first time. Green, a light-speed pitcher in his third year in the Major League, is performing his best this season with 5 wins, 4 losses and a 3.45 ERA. Green is a former top prospect who was selected as the second overall draft in 2017 and was considered the most notable high school player since Bryce Harper. Green said, "I hope we have more opportunities like this in the future and I hope we can enjoy these moments."

Meanwhile, the Dodgers are preparing various measures to fill Glasnow's gap. First of all, Justin Broblesky could replace Glasnow as a starter against Detroit over the weekend. Veteran left-hander Clayton Kershaw is also set to return. Kershaw faced batters on the 9th and is scheduled to make a rehabilitation appearance on the 15th. He will be able to return to the big league after two rehab appearances.

"It's not an ideal situation, but we have to gather the pieces we have and move forward," Roberts said. "Our players are responding very flexibly."

The timing of Glasnow's return remains uncertain. 토토사이트 The Dodgers hope that he will recover as soon as possible and contribute to its second half of the season. Fans will likely pay keen attention to how fast Glasnow will be able to return to the mound and the process of his return.
