Rays' Tyler Glasnow: Throws 49 pitches in sim game

Glasnow threw 49 pitches in a simulated game Tuesday, Juan Toribio of MLB.com reports.

Glasnow wasn't able to report to camp until Tuesday for undisclosed reasons, but it doesn't appear as though he's fallen behind while away from the team. He struck out four batters in his 3.1 innings of work, throwing 28 of his 49 pitches for strikes. If he ramps up by about 15 pitches per outing, he could be ready to throw approximately 80 pitches in his first start of the year.
