Glasnow was removed early from his start b/c he was "feeling uncomfortable and doing strange stuff with his arm". -Cora

See McCool's full article over at P2.



Glasnow leaves rehab start early.



Note: A Pirates Prospects is a subscription site but well worth the cost. An I am not being paid by Tim or any other member of the P2 staff to promote the site. I just like the info they provide and fell the price is cheap for that info.

Not a good start at all to the career of Glasnow with the Bucs. From his two sub-par starts in the Major League's to now this shoulder problem. Just hope we aren't dealing with these kinds of things next year this time with this guy. The Bucs are counting on Glasnow a lot to be a steady 2-3 guy in their rotation next season, and right now as we sit here today he looks nowhere near ready to fill that void.

But he didn't start the season in the majors because the Pirates are dumb, amirite?

I think they are expecting more than a 2-3. He has been a top 10 prospect in all of baseball. They are expecting an ace.

They should shut him down. He can be the big call up next year like Cole was in 2013 and Taillon was this year.

I agree with shutting him down. I don't think he is polished enough yet to really help the Pirates this year. I would rather have Brault come up or even to try Williams. Even without the potential injury, Glasnow needs to work on the change up and his command to really be effective.

This is probably a solid sentiment, but I'm hoping we don't need to use anyone else besides the five currently out there.

Let's hope "shutting him down" is the cure all. Shoulders issues are scary.

His first start was a good one. Allowed less than a baserunner per inning.



The 2nd start was terrible and he left with arm discomfort.



He needs to be taught a slide step at his height. Should have been using a slide step since A ball
