Pitching in opposition to the Rivercats (Giants’ Triple-A affiliate) in Sacramento, Glasnow gave up 5 runs on seven hits whereas strolling one and placing out three over 2 1/3 innings (66 pitches, 37 strikes). Over his two rehab outings to date, he has a ten.38 ERA.
It seems Glasnow will want a minimum of yet another Minor League rehab look after Dodgers supervisor Dave Roberts mentioned final week that the right-hander would wish round three of them earlier than probably returning to the large league rotation.
Previous to the shoulder irritation, Glasnow had a 4.50 ERA over 5 begins (18 innings). The 2024 All-Star needed to exit his fifth begin — in opposition to the Pirates at Dodger Stadium on April 27 — after one inning because of the damage.
Glasnow made some mechanical tweaks to his supply this previous offseason, which he thinks contributed to the shoulder difficulty.
“I by no means land closed, I used to be opening up, so I used to be simply placing lots of stress on my shoulder,” Glasnow mentioned earlier this month. “My [velocity] was down, stuff wasn’t good, command was actually dangerous. And when it clicked, like something, it was high quality. However I simply wasn’t on monitor and didn’t know find out how to repair it as a result of it was simply so new.”
Roberts mentioned that he hopes to see Glasnow shift his focus from his mechanics to outcomes as he continues his rehab.
“He’s a really cerebral man, mechanical, and as he’s gone by means of this rehab, he’s nonetheless pondering extra inside, which is comprehensible,” Roberts mentioned. “However as he begins to get out on rehab, get nearer to competitors, real-life sport competitors, my encouragement is to get extra exterior. You’re going to start out attempting to get hitters out fairly than [focus on] the place your supply is at.”
