LOS ANGELES — Health appears primed in the reserves for the Los Angeles Dodgers , who despite committing more than a billion dollars in baseball’s splashiest offseason are in dire need of reinforcements. Tyler Glasnow , the club’s All-Star right-hander, will make his expected return from his short stint on the injured list on Wednesday against the San Francisco Giants .

Glasnow’s hiatus on the injured list came at an optimal time for his overall usage — he has thrown 109 innings already this season just 11 shy of his career-high – and amid a cluster of Dodgers pitching injuries that suddenly has made starting pitching a priority at this month’s deadline. No team in baseball has more pitchers on the injured list (11), though that number will decrease by two this coming week. Free, daily sports updates direct to your inbox.
