DODGERS ACTIVATE TYLER GLASNOW
LOS ANGELES – The Los Angeles Dodgers activated right-handed pitcher Tyler Glasnow and optioned right-handed pitcher Alexis Díaz. In order to make room on the 40-man roster, the Dodgers placed right-handed pitcher Michael Kopech on the 60-day injured list.
Glasnow, 31, has been out since April 28 with right shoulder inflammation. Prior to hitting the IL, he made five starts, going 1-0 with a 4.50 ERA in 18 innings.

The Southern California native was drafted by the Pirates in the fifth round of the 2011 First Year Player Draft out of Hart High School.
Díaz, 28, was recalled yesterday but did not appear in the contest. He was acquired on May 29 from the Cincinnati Reds in exchange for minor league pitcher Mike Villani. He made six appearances for Oklahoma City, going 0-1 with a 9.64 ERA and three strikeouts in 4.2 innings. He was 0-0 with a 12.00 ERA in six games for the Reds this year.
