Tyler Glasnow set to return from injury on Tuesday vs. Braves

The Los Angeles Dodgers are currently enjoying a five-game winning streak, following their sweeps of the Colorado Rockies in Denver and the Pittsburgh Pirates at home. The team's starting rotation will soon be bolstered by the return of Tyler Glasnow, who is expected to pitch in Tuesday's game against the Atlanta Braves. Glasnow had been sidelined for over three months due to low back spasms, missing seven starts and posting a 2.72 ERA with 49 strikeouts in the 39 2/3 innings he had thrown.

In his absence, Tarik Skubal stepped up, allowing only three runs in the first inning before settling into a dominant performance, earning his first win in a Dodgers uniform. Skubal attributed his turnaround to facing a "punch in the mouth" from Pittsburgh's initial onslaught, which helped him find his footing. Manager Dave Roberts emphasized that Skubal's performance demonstrated the importance of handling adversity and staying composed under pressure.

Meanwhile, rookie outfielder Alek Thomas, who made his Dodgers debut on Saturday, was met with mixed reactions from the crowd after his brief stint with the Arizona Diamondbacks. Despite the boos he received during his time in Phoenix, Thomas expressed his excitement about joining the Dodgers and his willingness to contribute to the team's success.
