Tyler Glasnow clears out his locker and leaves the Dodgers after an elbow injury

Tyler Glasnow is no longer with the Los Angeles Dodgers.

Glasnow suffered a sprained right elbow and will likely miss the rest of the season. He had been out since Aug. 11 with elbow tendinitis, but suffered a setback while warming up for a simulated game. He was diagnosed with a sprained elbow and will almost certainly be out for the year.

On Sunday, reports surfaced that Glasnow's locker had been cleared out and he was no longer with the team in Atlanta. When asked about the whereabouts of his star pitcher, Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said Glasnow “took off” today, then said, “I don't know where he went. But he's not with the team, no.”

This feels odd. If Glasnow had gone somewhere to get medical treatment, Roberts would surely have been informed. The fact that he is not in the loop is really odd.

The Dodgers traded Glasnow in the offseason, sending Ryan Pepiot and Jonny DeLuca to the Tampa Bay Rays to get the powerful right-hander and Manuel Margot. They quickly signed him to a five-year, $136.5 million contract. The Southern California native has been dominant at times this season, but like most of his career, he has also struggled with injuries.

If Glasnow is out for the season, the 31-year-old will finish 9-6 with a 3.49 ERA, a 0.95 WHIP and 168 strikeouts in 134 innings.
