The Los Angeles Dodgers are facing the reality of entering the postseason without two of their most important starting pitchers in Tyler Glasnow and Clayton Kershaw. Kershaw is dealing with left big toe inflammation caused by a bone spur and likely won’t pitch again during the regular season.

Imaging on his right arm revealed a sprained elbow, manager Dave Roberts said Saturday afternoon, adding a return this season is “highly unlikely.” An offseason in which the Dodgers spent close to half a billion dollars in pitching still left them scrambling for bodies as the postseason nears.

On Sunday, reports surfaced that Glasnow's locker had been cleared out and he was no longer with the team in Atlanta. When asked about his ace pitcher's whereabouts Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said Glasnow "flew out" today, then said, "I don't know where he flew to. But he's not with the team, no."

Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Tyler Glasnow is "highly unlikely" to return this season after suffering a sprained elbow, manager Dave Roberts told reporters

Dave Roberts says Tyler Glasnow likely will miss the rest of the season with a sprained elbow, putting further stress on an injury-riddled pitching staff.

The Los Angeles Dodgers lost a significant piece to their postseason rotation as Tyler Glasnow’s season has likely come to an end. The news came just one day after Glasnow was scratched from his scheduled simulated game on Friday due to elbow discomfort.
