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 on Wednesday, will now start on Friday at the San Francisco Giants.

Glasnow, who will turn 32 on Aug. 23, has been on the IL since April 28 with right shoulder inflammation. He left his previous start before the second inning after feeling discomfort while warming up.
The right-hander was later moved to the 60-day IL as his recovery timetable was pushed back. He finished 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 compiled a 4.50 ERA with 23 strikeouts and 11 walks in 18 innings. He made 22 starts last season, a career high, pitching 134 innings. In 2023, Glasnow made 21 starts (with 120 innings pitched) with the Tampa Bay Rays.

Glasnow had never made more than 14 starts in his eight seasons prior to that. But he did make 45 appearances in 2018. 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 with left elbow inflammation as part of a series of moves the team announced on Monday.
Hernández, 33, is not having a good offensive season, batting .195/.259/.367 with five doubles, eight home runs and 22 RBI in 186 plate appearances. However, he's been a valuable player in the nine total seasons that he's played for the Dodgers (three seasons in his most recent stint) because of his positional versatility.

In the 71 games he's played 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 even pitched in five games this season. However, Hernández has taken the mound in blowouts to preserve bullpen arms, rather than display the two-way talent of Shohei Ohtani. In 5 1/3 innings, he has allowed nine runs, 11 hits and eight walks with one 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. However, in 333 plate appearances at Triple-A, he's 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 32 strikeouts in 28 2/3 innings with a 4.08 ERA. 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 claiming him off waivers from the New York Yankees.

Braves Make Ronald Acuna Jr. Move After Austin Riley News

Braves Make Ronald Acuna Jr. Move After Austin Riley News originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Ronald Acuna Jr. is in his eighth MLB season, having debuted in 2018 and immediately dominating opposing pitching on the way to National League Rookie of the Year honors. Advertisement Since then, despite suffering multiple ACL tears, he has established himself as one of baseball's most exciting talents—capturing the NL MVP Award in 2023 and earning five All-Star Game selections. He also etched his name into the record books that year, becoming the first player ever to record at least 40 home runs and 70 stolen bases in a single season. The 27-year-old superstar got off to a scorching start in 2025, though his team has endured a disappointing year, decimated by injuries to multiple key contributors. Atlanta Braves right fielder Ronald Acuna Jr. (13)Charles LeClaire-Imagn During Saturday's game against the St. Louis Cardinals, the Braves announced that third baseman Austin Riley left the contest early with lower abdominal tightness and was placed on the injured list Sunday morning with a right abdominal strain. Advertisement To reintroduce power, Atlanta dropped Acuna two spots in the batting order to third—the spot Riley occupied throughout July and the lowest slot Acuna has hit all year. Through 43 games this season, Acuna has already hit 11 home runs, swiped four bases and is batting .333 with a 1.040 OPS. Despite his individual excellence, the Braves sit at 41–52, ten games back of the third NL wild-card spot. Consequently, Acuna's name has surfaced in trade rumors, but Atlanta's front office has made it emphatically clear that they have no intention of trading their franchise cornerstone. This story was originally reported by Athlon Sports on Jul 12, 2025, where it first appeared.
