Glasnow, 31, had been out since Aug. 11 with what the team described as elbow tendinitis. He seemed to be close to a return before suffering another setback that essentially ended his season. The right-hander was warming up for a two- to three-inning simulated game from Truist Park early Friday afternoon, expected to be his last step before rejoining the Dodgers' rotation, but had to shut it down because of elbow discomfort as he approached his 25th throw from the bullpen.
The Dodgers at this point can only be confident in newcomer Jack Flaherty starting their first postseason game. Yoshinobu Yamamoto, who missed nearly three months with a shoulder injury but had an encouraging return last week, seems like a solid bet to follow him. Beyond that, though, the Dodgers' rotation outlook is exceedingly uncertain.
