Rays' Tyler Glasnow: Tracking toward mid-May return

Glasnow (oblique) is projected to make his season debut in mid-May, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Glasnow started throwing bullpen sessions a week ago and continues to progress well. We're seven weeks into an initial 6-to-8 week timetable for Glasnow, so it certainly appears the big right-hander's recovery will exceed that timeframe. Nevertheless, Glasnow appears to be making steady progress, and he should be ready to face hitters soon.
