After having to remove him from Monday night’s game due to right elbow inflammation, the Tampa Bay Rays placed pitcher Tyler Glasnow on the 10-day injured list Tuesday.
Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times was the first to report that an MRI on Glasnow’s elbow indicated that the 27-year old suffered a partial tear of his ulnar collateral ligament and a strain of his flexor tendon.

Glasnow underwent a MRI this morning in Chicago, which revealed a partial UCL tear as well as flexor strain. A timeline for his return will be determined after further medical evaluation.— Marc Topkin (@TBTimes_Rays) June 15, 2021
The right-hander had made 14 starts this season, and amassed a 5-2 record, a 2.66 earned run average, and 123 strikeouts, second-most in the American League, in 88 innings of work.
To take his spot on the active roster, infielder Mike Brosseau, who was optioned to Triple-A Durham Monday when first baseman Ji-Man Choi was activated from the injured list, was recalled.
