Los Angeles Dodgers right-hander Tyler Glasnow is ready to return.

The All-Star made his final rehab start Wednesday night for the Oklahoma City Comets and was absolutely filthy on the mound. Glasnow retired 16-of-18 batters, including a consecutive stretch of 11 hitters.

The right-hander tossed 5.1 innings, allowing one run with nine strikeouts and one walk. Though, Glasnow didn’t give up the run he was charged with.

Manager Dave Roberts said Wednesday’s rehab start would be Glasnow’s final one before rejoining the rotation.

Prior to landing on the injured list with back spasms in May, the right-hander was 3-0 with a 2.72 ERA across seven starts.

Glasnow’s return signals an almost fully healthy rotation as the Dodgers are still waiting on Shohei Ohtani to return, but the two-way star has also made strides in his recovery.

Based on his performance for OKC, Glasnow looks primed to dominate in an already stacked unit that boasts Yoshinobu Yamamoto, Tarik Skubal and Blake Snell. Since he was traded to the Dodgers in 2023, Glasnow has dealt with injuries every season.

The good news is Glasnow appears to be fully ramped up and will aid the Dodgers in their quest of a third consecutive World Series title.

Though there are questions surrounding other areas of the team, the Dodgers’ rotation is unequivocally strong. LA will likely lean on the unit to carry it through October.
