Glasnow did not factor in the decision against the Dodgers on Saturday, allowing three runs on five hits and one walk while striking out eight batters over 4.1 innings.
Glasnow spent nearly the first two months of the season recovering from an oblique injury before making his regular-season debut Saturday. The right-hander had mixed results -- four of the five hits he allowed went for extra bases, and the Dodgers put up three runs on him, but Glasnow also racked up an impressive 17 swinging strikes and eight punchouts in the short outing. Considering the quality of the opponent, this was by most measures a promising return for the oft-injured veteran. He'll try to build upon it in his next outing, which tentatively lines up to take place in Boston next week.

Rays' Tyler Glasnow: Officially activated for debut
Rotowire
Glasnow (oblique) was reinstated from the injured list as expected Saturday ahead of his scheduled start against the Dodgers, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
The oft-injured righty couldn't make it to the end of February before suffering his first injury of the season, a left oblique strain. His frequent absences are typically sandwiched between outstanding performances, as he's recorded a 2.75 ERA and 36.0 percent strikeout rate in 39 starts across his four years in Tampa. His 0.68 ERA across four rehab starts suggests there's reason to expect the same this season, though the Dodgers will be a difficult first test.

Rays' Tyler Glasnow: Season debut set for Saturday
Rotowire
Glasnow (oblique) is listed as the Rays' probable pitcher for Saturday's game against the Dodgers, Eric Stephen of SBNation.com reports.
That's the day where Glasnow's name had been written down in pencil and it appears now it can be written in ink. Glasnow was superb during his rehab assignment while coming back from an oblique injury, yielding just one run while posting a 20:5 K:BB over 13.1 innings covering four starts. He got his pitch count up to 67 in his final rehab outing, so he won't be available for a full workload Saturday.

Rays' Tyler Glasnow: Likely to debut Saturday
Rotowire
Glasnow (oblique) is expected to be activated from the 15-day injured list to start Saturday's game versus the Dodgers, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
He would be available on regular rest Friday, but Glasnow and the rest of the Rays' rotation members will get an extra day of rest while Cooper Criswell serves as a bulk reliever in the series opener with the Dodgers. Glasnow allowed just one run while posting a 20:5 K:BB over 13.1 innings covering four rehab starts. He threw 67 pitches in his last rehab outing Sunday, so he should be available for 90 or so pitches this weekend in what will be his 2023 MLB debut.

Rays' Tyler Glasnow: Dazzles in fourth rehab start
Rotowire
Glasnow (oblique) covered six innings and struck out six while allowing an earned run on two hits and two walks Sunday in his rehab start for Triple-A Durham.
Making the fourth start of his rehab assignment, Glasnow built up to 67 pitches and once again looked sharp during his time on the mound. The hard-throwing right-hander has been on the shelf all season with a left oblique strain, but he looks like he could return from the 15-day injured list later this week to make his 2023 debut for Tampa Bay. If activated, Glasnow would tentatively line up to make his first start for the Rays either Friday or Saturday versus the Dodgers at Tropicana Field.

Rays' Tyler Glasnow: Making another rehab start Sunday
Rotowire
Glasnow (oblique) is making his fourth rehab start with Triple-A Durham on Sunday.
The right-hander delivered four scoreless frames in his previous start with Durham last Tuesday, and he should continue to build up his workload Sunday. It could be Glasnow's final rehab outing -- assuming he avoids any setbacks -- which potentially puts him on track to make his season debut next weekend against the Dodgers.

Rays' Tyler Glasnow: Another rehab start likely
Rotowire
Glasnow (oblique) is likely to make another rehab start before rejoining the Rays' rotation, Tricia Whitaker of Bally Sports Sun reports.
Glasnow was excellent in a rehab start with Triple-A Durham on Tuesday, striking out nine over four scoreless innings. While that seems to have put any concern over his minor setback in his previous outing to bed, he still needs to be built back up a bit. Glasnow's season debut should come next week, likely at home against the Dodgers.

Rays' Tyler Glasnow: Impresses in rehab outing
Rotowire
Glasnow (oblique) hurled four scoreless innings with nine strikeouts in a rehab start for Triple-A Durham on Tuesday.
Glasnow allowed just three hits with a walk in an impressive outing for the 29-year-old. It's a positive development after the right-hander was forced to leave his start Wednesday with tightness in his left side after just an inning and 11 pitches. Glasnow will likely need to make at least one more rehab start before he returns, but he's on track to return to the Tampa Bay rotation before the end of May.

Rays' Tyler Glasnow: Slated to resume rehab Tuesday
Rotowire
Glasnow (oblique) is expected to resume his minor-league rehab assignment Tuesday, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
Glasnow was pulled after throwing just 11 pitches Wednesday at Triple-A Durham with what was labeled as mild left side tightness, but Rays manager Kevin Cash said Thursday that a visit with a doctor revealed no new injury. The 29-year-old is slated to pitch twice more on the farm before perhaps hopping into Tampa Bay's rotation around the end of May. He suffered a left oblique strain back in late February.

Rays' Tyler Glasnow: Pulled early from rehab start
Rotowire
Glasnow (oblique) was removed from Wednesday's rehab start with Triple-A Durham after just one inning, Patrick Kinas of Westwood One Sports reports.
Glasnow needed just 11 pitches to get through a scoreless frame before being lifted. He had been slated for four innings and/or 65 pitches, so it's possible he suffered some sort of setback. Glasnow was making the second of what was expected to be three rehab starts.

Rays' Tyler Glasnow: Three rehab starts likely
Rotowire
There's a "good chance" Glasnow (oblique) will make a third rehab start with Triple-A Durham following his second rehab start Wednesday, Rays manager Kevin Cash told Kristie Ackert of the Tampa Bay Times.
Glasnow struck out four and walked two over 2.1 scoreless frames in his first rehab outing Friday, throwing 46 pitches. "He's going to throw four innings, 60 to 65 pitches I think on Wednesday in Charlotte. Then we'll talk," Cash said. "I think in fairness and to get ahead of it, there's a good chance he's going to make another start after this upcoming one, just to kind of get him closer to normal build-up. Similar to a spring training (build-up)." Assuming Glasnow does indeed make a third rehab start, he would tentatively be lined up for his season debut with the Rays during their May 19-21 series at home versus the Brewers.

Rays' Tyler Glasnow: Making first rehab start
Rotowire
Glasnow (oblique) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Durham on Friday, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
Glasnow is slated for three innings in the first of what's expected to be two or three rehab outings. The big right-hander has been working his way back from a strained oblique which he suffered in late February. Glasnow made two regular-season and one postseason start late last season after making it back from Tommy John surgery.

Rays' Tyler Glasnow: Could make rehab start next week
Rotowire
Glasnow (oblique) threw a two-inning live bullpen session in Tampa Bay on Saturday, and could make a rehab appearance for Triple-A Durham within the next week, Ryan Bass of Bally Sports Sun reports.
Rays manager Kevin Cash called the two innings (encouraging) after getting a report from pitching coach Rick Knapp. Glasnow is trending toward being ready to return in mid-May, just keep in mind that the right-hander has to build up his arm strength as he's been out with his oblique injury since the middle of the Grapefruit League in Florida.
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.

Rays' Tyler Glasnow: Throws bullpen session
Rotowire
Glasnow (oblique) threw a 15-pitch bullpen session Tuesday, Tricia Whitaker of Bally Sports Sun reports.
It's the first time he's thrown off a mound since he suffered a Grade 2 strain of his left oblique back in late February. That was six weeks ago, so it doesn't seem like Glasnow is going to make it back within the initially projected 6-to-8 week timetable. The talented right-hander is seemingly doing well in his recovery, though, and just needs to rebuild stamina.

Rays' Tyler Glasnow: Placed on 15-day IL
Rotowire
The Rays placed Glasnow (oblique) on the 15-day injured list Wednesday, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
Glasnow was diagnosed in late February with a Grade 2 strain of his left oblique and is expected to miss at least the first month of the 2023 regular season. He had just resumed throwing on flat ground when spring camp came to a close.

Rays' Tyler Glasnow: Throwing on flat ground
Rotowire
Glasnow (oblique) is throwing on flat ground from 75 feet Sunday, Kristie Ackert of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
The 29-year-old is about a month removed from suffering a Grade 2 left oblique strain, and his return to throwing is an indication that his rehab is going well. Glasnow's initial recovery timeline was 6-to-8 weeks, and he appears to be trending toward the long end of the timeframe given he has to fully build up his arm after missing spring training. A return in early May should be possible if he can avoid any setbacks as he ramps up his workload.

Rays' Tyler Glasnow: Still in treatment phase
Rotowire
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.
