Tyler Glasnow is set for another live batting practice session early next week as he continues working back from a back injury. He is moving deeper into the return process, but he is still not at the point where a rehab assignment is in reach.
The timing matters because the next live session is the clearest marker yet of how far Glasnow has come since facing live hitters on Friday. He threw around 25 pitches in that work, a workload that suggests his arm is being built up carefully rather than rushed through the final stages.
That kind of step is exactly what makes the update matter for Dodgers Starting Pitchers. Glasnow’s throwing program is no longer just about getting back on a mound; it is about proving he can keep advancing without a setback, with the next session serving as the test of whether he is ready for the next phase.
For now, though, the limit is still the limit. Glasnow has been restricted to live batting practice, which means he has not yet been cleared for a rehab assignment, and that remains the line he still has to cross before his return moves from progress report to game action.
If early next week goes well, the door opens wider. The next step could come soon after that, but the real answer is whether Glasnow can turn one more controlled outing into the kind of full green light that ends the waiting.
