Glasnow placed on injured list with partial UCL tear, flexor strain
An MRI on Tampa Bay Rays right-hander Tyler Glasnow revealed a partial tear of his ulnar collateral ligament as well as a flexor strain, MLB.com's Adam Berry reports.
The team will place Glasnow on the 10-day injured list, and a timetable for his return will be determined after further medical evaluation, according to the Rays.
Tampa Bay Rays ace Tyler Glasnow has a partially torn ulnar collateral ligament and a flexor tendon strain. The plan for now is to try to rehab the injury to avoid Tommy John and eventually return, but it’s a brutal blow for Glasnow, who’s been phenomenal, and the MLB-best Rays.
