Dodgers' Tyler Glasnow, Blake Treinen take steps toward injury returns
The post Dodgers' Tyler Glasnow, Blake Treinen take steps toward injury returns appeared first on ClutchPoints.
There's now two ways about it: the Los Angeles Dodgers need pitchers.
Entering the offseason with a reworked rotation so deep some thought Dave Roberts might go with a six-man rotation, the Dodgers have watched big name after big name go on IL over the past few months, with Blake Snell, Roki Sasaki, Tyler Glasnow, Blake Treinen, and about a dozen other players landing on the injured list.

And yet, after watching players like Kirby Yates return to the mound for some much-needed relief, Dodgers faithful landed some more good news on Friday from The Athletic's Fabian Ardaya, with two of LA's big-named arms returning to the mound for throwing sessions.
'It appears Tyler Glasnow is getting set to face some hitters. Would be his first time doing so since landing on the IL,' Ardaya wrote.
'Tyler Glasnow threw one simulated inning. Blake Treinen is now throwing a bullpen session. First time we've seen him do that since going on the IL.'
Now, for fans in the know, the Dodgers' bullpen sessions have become increasingly interesting over the past few weeks, with Shohei Ohtani throwing his own simulated innings while Snell also tries to work back from his shoulder injury. Considering the Dodgers are already settling for bullpen games against rivals like the San Diego Padres, with just three expected starting pitchers, Yoshinobu Yamamoto, Dustin May, and Clayton Kershaw regularly available to play, getting a top starting option or a premier high-leverage arm could help the team considerably.

Will the Dodgers ever actually get to deploy the pitching rotation they hoped for on opening day, with Yamamoto, Snell, Glasnow, Sasaki, Kershaw, and May all throwing deep alongside two-way star Ohtani? Only time will tell, but considering how often the Dodgers have been linked to starting pitchers before the trade deadline, it's clear the team's initial plans may not be as foolproof as he might have hoped.

Caitlin Clark's Teammate Earns New Nickname After Getting Ejected From Fever Game
Caitlin Clark's Teammate Earns New Nickname After Getting Ejected From Fever Game originally appeared on Athlon Sports. On Tuesday night, the Indiana Fever won their second straight game with Caitlin Clark back in the lineup, defeating the Connecticut Sun 88-71. Advertisement The win, coupled with the New York Liberty taking down the Atlanta Dream, booked Indiana a spot in the WNBA Commissioner's Cup final as the top-ranked team from the East with a 4-1 record. Despite the lopsided scoreline, Connecticut did not go down without a fight. The game escalated when Clark got into it with Sun guard Jacy Sheldon and got knocked to the floor by Connecticut's Marina Mabrey. Sheldon received a flagrant 1 foul for poking Clark in the eye, but no ejections were handed out at the time. With Sheldon still on the court in the final minute of the game, Fever guard Sophie Cunningham jumped at an opportunity to get a little payback for Clark and earned a new nickname in the process.

Advertisement Things got ugly under the basket as a scuffle broke out involving several players on both teams. Cunningham and Sheldon were both ejected along with Sun guard Lindsay Allen for their roles in the fight. For better or worse, the altercation stamped Cunningham with a nickname from the Fever faithful. "Sophie Cunningham aka the enforcer," said one X user. "Sophie Cunningham the enforcer," wrote another. "I like it." "Sophie Cunningham: Enforcer," typed a fan. "We love Sophie Cunningham The Enforcer," wrote another user with a series of heart emojis. Some Fever fans were pleased to see Clark's teammate stick up for her after accusations were thrown at the Fever for not protecting the former Iowa star from physical play enough during her rookie season in 2024. Advertisement For others, the fact that Cunningham had to take matters into her own hands appeared to be a result of the WNBA officials not controlling the game and setting the tone by ejecting Sheldon and Mabrey during the earlier interaction with Clark.

New Video of Caitlin Clark, Marina Mabrey Shove Turning Heads
New Video of Caitlin Clark, Marina Mabrey Shove Turning Heads originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Caitlin Clark was the center of attention when the Indiana Fever met the Connecticut Sun in a game to help determine who would make the final of the WNBA Commissioner's Cup. Advertisement The Fever won 88-71, but the Sun players did not make it easy on Clark, who finished with 20 points and six assists in her second game back from a quad injury. Jacy Sheldon, a guard for the Sun whose rivalry with Clark dates back to their battles in the Big Ten with Ohio State and Iowa, got chippy with the Fever star early on. Sheldon prompted a scuffle when she poked Clark in the eye in the third quarter, and Connecticut guard Marina Mabrey followed up by shoving Clark to the ground. Connecticut Sun guard Marina Mabrey (3) fouls Indiana Fever guard Caitlin Clark (22) in the second half at Gainbridge Ruszkowski-Imagn Images The play was wild enough in the moment, but compared to a clear video taken by a fan inside the stadium, the broadcast angle hardly did it justice. "This angle is crazy," said a fan. Advertisement "This is infuriating," wrote another. "Man ... 3 things all in succession," observed an X user. "Caitlin being pinballed around. This was a bit extreme." "How were there no ejections after this?!" wondered a viewer. Sheldon was assessed a flagrant foul 1 for the unnecessary contact to Clark's head, but Mabrey got away with just a technical foul for the shove, which the crew chief explained "did not rise to the level of an ejection." Fever guard Sophie Cunningham, on the other hand, would not escape an ejection late in the fourth quarter. She defended Clark by getting revenge on Sheldon with a hard foul in transition that was elevated to a flagrant 2, leading to a fight underneath the basket and two other ejections.
