Rays manager Kevin Cash told reporters Saturday that Glasnow (oblique) has not started throwing as of yet, Kristie Ackert of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
"Just treatment," Cash said on Saturday before their Grapefruit League game. The right-hander was diagnosed with a Grade 2 left oblique strain on February 27 while throwing to hitters during a live batting practice session. He's expected to miss at least six weeks with the injury, but it could progress longer since Tampa Bay is sure to be cautious with Glasnow.

Rays' Tyler Glasnow: Facing 6-to-8-week absence
Rotowire
Glasnow is expected to miss 6-to-8 weeks after he was diagnosed Tuesday with a Grade 2 left oblique strain following an MRI, Neil Solondz of the Rays Radio Network reports.
The projected timetable is for Glasnow's return to game action, so it looks as though he'll be in store for a lengthy absence to begin the campaign. Glasnow, of course, was limited to just two abbreviated starts late in the 2022 season following a long rehab from Tommy John surgery.

Rays' Tyler Glasnow: Cash expects injured list stint
Rotowire
Glasnow (oblique) will begin the season on the injured list, Rays manager Kevin Cash told Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times on Tuesday.
Topkin speculated as much when reporting on Glasnow's oblique injury Monday and Cash says of an IL stint that "I would book that right now," adding that the pitcher has "typical soreness, bothers him to sneeze, cough, whatever." The Rays are still waiting on Glasnow's MRI results and more should be known about a potential timetable once those are in.

Rays' Tyler Glasnow: Sustains oblique injury
Rotowire
Glasnow suffered an oblique injury on Monday during a live batting practice session, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
Glasnow reportedly threw about six pitches before he left with a trainer. The right-hander will undergo an MRi on Tuesday to determine the severity of the injury, but Topkin believes that the right-hander will miss time. Just how long Glasnow will be out will be determined at least in part by those image results. Fantasy managers will want to keep a close eye on the situation, and there should be more clarity by Wednesday.

Rays' Tyler Glasnow: Steps back on mound
Rotowire
Glasnow (illness) completed a bullpen session Sunday, Neil Solondz of the Rays Radio Network reports.
Glasnow had been scheduled to take the hill Saturday, but the Rays scratched him from the side session while he battled a stomach illness. As anticipated, Glasnow was cleared to get back on the mound Sunday, with manager Kevin Cash noting afterward that it was the best bullpen session that he had seen the right-hander throw. Glasnow was able to make two abbreviated starts for the Rays late in the 2022 regular season following his recovery from Tommy John surgery, and after a long winter to continue resting up, the 29-year-old appears poised to enter the 2023 campaign without any notable workload restrictions.

Rays' Tyler Glasnow: Battling stomach bug
Rotowire
Glasnow missed his scheduled bullpen session Saturday due to a stomach illness, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
Glasnow's health is worth watching this spring, but a brief stomach bug isn't likely to be the sort of thing which makes a significant impact. Other than the illness, Glasnow enters camp healthy, having returned from Tommy John surgery late last season to throw 11.2 innings, including five in the playoffs. He struck out 15 batters while allowing just six hits and one run, indicating that he remains as good as ever on a per-inning basis. Exactly how many innings he'll throw remains a mystery, however, as he's only once reached triple digits in that category and has never made more than 14 starts in a major-league season.

Rays' Tyler Glasnow: Pitches into fourth
Rotowire
Glasnow pitched 3.2 scoreless innings, allowing two hits and a walk while striking out seven in Monday's loss to the Red Sox. He did not factor into the decision.
Glasnow was stretched out a little further Monday, tossing 64 pitches while blanking the Red Sox over 3.2 frames. The right-hander returned from the 60-day injured list to make his season debut Wednesday and will now be a significant part of the Rays' pitching staff in the postseason. Over his two outings, he's allowed one run on four hits and two walks while striking out 10 batters over 6.2 innings.

Rays' Tyler Glasnow: Gets another start
Rotowire
Glasnow is scheduled to start Monday's game in Boston.
Glasnow made his return from the 60-day injured list last week and covered three innings in a no-decision against Cleveland, striking out three while allowing one earned run on two hits and one walk. With his surgically repaired elbow checking out fine following that 50-pitch outing, Glasnow will likely look to build up to around four or five innings Monday in his final start of the regular season. The Rays haven't yet determined if Glasnow will be a part of their postseason rotation, but at the very least, the right-hander should be in line to fill a key role out of the bullpen.

Rays' Tyler Glasnow: Sharp in return
Rotowire
Glasnow (elbow) allowed one earned run on two hits and a walk while striking out three across three innings Wednesday against the Guardians. He did not factor into the decision.
Glasnow made his first appearance of 2022 after recovering from Tommy John surgery and threw 50 pitches. He maxed out at 99.4 mph on his fastball and averaged 98.1 mph -- which would be his highest velocity across an entire season. Glasnow lines up to make another start prior to the close of the regular season and figures to serve a prominent role in the Rays' postseason run.

Rays' Tyler Glasnow: Reinstated from injured list
Rotowire
Glasnow (elbow) was reinstated from the 60-day injured list ahead of Wednesday's start in Cleveland, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
Glasnow will make his season debut Wednesday after recovering from Tommy John surgery, but he'll be limited to approximately 45 pitches during his start against the Guardians. However, if all goes well, he should be able to make one more start next week and serve as an option to pitch during the postseason.

Rays' Tyler Glasnow: Starting Wednesday in Cleveland
Rotowire
Glasnow (elbow) is scheduled to start Wednesday in Cleveland, where he will be limited to about 45 pitches, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
Glasnow is throwing a light bullpen session Sunday in preparation for his activation. He could be excellent on a per-inning basis, but he won't be able to go deep enough to qualify for a win in his 2022 debut. However, it's possible Glasnow could log four or five innings if he stays on turn and pitches the following week in Boston.

Rays' Tyler Glasnow: Could pitch next week in Cleveland
Rotowire
Glasnow (elbow) could make his 2023 debut next week in Cleveland, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
If all goes well for Glasnow in Friday's rehab start for Triple-A Durham, his next appearance would likely come either Sept. 28 or Sept. 29 in Cleveland. Glasnow struck out four over two perfect innings in his most recent rehab appearance. The best-case scenario in standard fantasy leagues would probably be for Glasnow to follow an opener in his return to the majors so that he can realistically qualify for the win.

Rays' Tyler Glasnow: Requires more rehab outings
Rotowire
Manager Kevin Cash said Wednesday that Glasnow (elbow) performed well during Tuesday's rehab start at Triple-A Durham but will require "multiple" additional minor-league appearances prior to returning from the injured list, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
Glasnow has made a pair of rehab appearances at Durham over the last week, allowing a run on a hit and three walks while striking out four in 2.1 innings. While he's felt good following the outings, he'll need to spend some more time in the minors prior to rejoining the Rays. However, if he continues to fare well following his upcoming rehab appearances, it's possible the right-hander is utilized out of Tampa Bay's bullpen late in the regular season.

Rays' Tyler Glasnow: Will begin rehab Wednesday
Rotowire
Glasnow (elbow) is slated to begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Durham on Wednesday, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
Glasnow will throw a bullpen session sometime before joining Durham. Once he begins the assignment, the Rays will build him up slowly and have already determined he will throw just one inning in his first rehab game. The right-hander has not yet been ruled out for a late-season return in a relief role.

Rays' Tyler Glasnow: Throws another live BP
Rotowire
Glasnow (elbow) faced Triple-A Durham hitters in live batting practice Sunday and is expected to repeat the activity again Wednesday before beginning a rehab assignment, Patrick Kinas of Westwood One reports.
According to Kinas, Glasnow threw approximately 23 pitches in the session, which came two days after he and the Rays reached an agreement on a two-year, $30.35 million contract extension. Glasnow, who is making his way back from the elbow surgery he underwent Aug. 4 of last year, is expected to make his return from the 60-day injured list in September in a relief role.

Rays' Tyler Glasnow: Rehab assignment coming soon
Rotowire
Glasnow (elbow) threw his second live batting practice session Tuesday and will face hitters once more before likely beginning a minor-league rehab assignment, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
Glasnow reiterated after Tuesday's workout that his surgically repaired right elbow feels good, and he remains optimistic that he'll return from the 60-day injured list this season. According to Topkin, Glasnow's fastball topped out at around 97 miles per hour Tuesday, and while he appears to have recaptured his pre-surgery velocity, regaining command of all of his pitches may prove to be the greater challenge. If Glasnow does meet his goal of pitching for the Rays in 2022, it'll almost certainly come as a reliever, given that he doesn't seem to have enough time at this stage of the season to build up as a starter.

Rays' Tyler Glasnow: Throws first live BP session
Rotowire
Glasnow (elbow) threw 20 pitches in a live batting practice session Saturday at the Rays' complex in Port Charlotte, Fla., Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
Manager Kevin Cash noted that Glasnow felt good while facing hitters for the first time since undergoing Tommy John surgery just over a year ago. The right-hander will likely repeat the activity at least one or two more times before the Rays map out a rehab assignment for Glasnow, who will likely be deployed out of the bullpen if he makes his way back from the 60-day injured list this season.

Rays' Tyler Glasnow: Gets back on mound
Rotowire
Glasnow (elbow) threw a bullpen session Tuesday, his first since undergoing Tommy John surgery last August, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
Glasnow's ability to get back on a mound represents an important milestone in his recovery from elbow surgery, but he'll still face an uphill battle to make a return from the 60-day injured list in 2022. Slowly but steadily, he'll likely increase the intensity and frequency of his bullpen sessions before advancing to the next stage of his rehab program: facing live hitters.

Glasnow (elbow/ankle) has progressed to throwing from 90 feet, CJ Haddad of MLB.com reports.
Glasnow is recovering from both ankle and elbow surgeries, though he is feeling well in both regards. Glasnow is still a minimum of several months away from returning to a big-league mound, but it's a positive that his recovery from Tommy John surgery remains on track.

Rays' Tyler Glasnow: Steers clear of arbitration
Rotowire
Glasnow (elbow) and the Rays agreed Tuesday on a one-year, $5.1 million contract to avoid arbitration, Robert Murray of FanSided.com reports.
Though he's expected to miss most, if not all, of the 2022 season, Glasnow will get a $1.1 million pay increase after he had performed at a Cy Young-worthy level (2.66 ERA, 0.93 WHIP and 123:27 K:BB over 88 innings) through 14 starts in 2021 before he eventually required Tommy John surgery for his right elbow. Glasnow, who also underwent surgery last week to remove loose bodies from his right ankle, is expected to rest for the next 2-to-3 weeks before restarting his throwing program. Before having his ankle scoped, Glasnow had been playing catch off flat ground from about 75 feet three times a week, according to Neil Solondz of the Rays Radio Network.
