Koda Glover has two scoreless innings under his belt with the Gulf Coast Nationals and he’s set to pitch for the Potomac Nationals tonight as he continues to work his way back from a recurrence of the shoulder issue that has plagued him in the last year-plus. It’s been a near-constant battle for the now-25-year-old right-hander, whose first major league season came to an end when he suffered a torn labrum in his hip after debuting a year after the Nationals drafted him out of Oklahoma State University in the 8th Round of the 2015 Draft.
Glover debuted in Washington’s bullpen in July, 2016 after a meteoric rise through the Nats’ minor league system, though in hindsight, Nationals’ GM Mike Rizzo told reporters this past winter, it might have been too much too soon.
