Pitcher Tyler Glasnow will return to the Los Angeles Dodgers‘ starting rotation on Wednesday, manager Dave Roberts announced before Monday’s matchup with the Milwaukee Brewers.
Dustin May, who was originally scheduled to pitch Wednesday, will instead start Friday at the San Francisco Giants.
Glasnow, who will turn 32 on Aug. 23, has been on the IL since April 28 due to right shoulder inflammation. He left his previous start before the second inning after feeling discomfort while warming up.
The right-hander was moved to the 60-day IL as his recovery timetable was pushed back. He pitched his third minor-league rehab start on Thursday, throwing 78 pitches in 4 1/3 innings for Triple-A Oklahoma City, and encountered no setbacks.

In five starts this season, Glasnow has a 4.50 ERA with 23 strikeouts and 11 walks in 18 innings. He made 22 starts last season, a career high, and pitched 134 innings. In 2023, Glasnow made 21 starts (120 innings pitched) with the Tampa Bay Rays.
Glasnow had never made more than 14 starts in his eight MLB seasons prior to that. He had Tommy John surgery in 2021.
Enrique Hernández placed on 10-day injured list
Utilityman Enrique Hernández was placed on the 15-day injured list due to left elbow inflammation as part of a series of moves the team announced Monday.
Hernández, 33, is not having a good offensive season, batting .195/.259/.367 with 5 doubles, 8 home runs and 22 RBI in 186 plate appearances. However, he has been a valuable player through his nine total seasons with the Dodgers (three seasons in his most recent stint) because of his positional versatility.
In 71 games this year, Hernández has appeared at first base (26 games), left field (20), second base (18), third base (10) and center field (seven).
He has also pitched in five games this year, taking the mound in blowouts to preserve bullpen arms. In 5 1/3 innings, he has allowed 9 runs, 11 hits and 8 walks with a strikeout.
Hernández has been dealing with the discomfort in his left, non-throwing elbow for approximately a month, according to Dodgers manager Dave Roberts. That could be a factor in his poor hitting this season.
Outfielder James Outman was called up from Triple-A Oklahoma City to take Hernández’s place on the active roster. In his previous major-league stints this season, Outman has batted .125/.222/.375 with two home runs and four RBI in nine games. In 333 plate appearances at Triple-A, he has hit .289 with a 970 OPS, 20 doubles, 20 homers, 74 RBI and 14 stolen bases.
Additionally, the Dodgers are calling up right-handed reliever Julian Fernández, who has a 4.08 ERA with 32 strikeouts in 28 2/3 innings in Triple-A. Left-hander Justin Wrobleski was sent down to Oklahoma City. In eight games (two starts), he compiled a 4.08 ERA with 40 strikeouts in 40 innings.
Infielder CJ Alexander was also designated for assignment, four days after the Dodgers claimed him off waivers from the New York Yankees.
