Glasnow to 60-day IL; Rays get Mike Ford
The Rays on Thursday acquired infielder Mike Ford from the Yankees for a player to be named and cash, and they transferred ace Tyler Glasnow to the 60-day injured list. Right-hander Collin McHugh was activated from the COVID-19 injured list in a corresponding move.
Glasnow was a contender for the AL Cy Young Award before being placed on the IL on Tuesday with a partially torn UCL and a flexor strain in his right arm. Glasnow said surgery wasn’t recommended, so he will attempt to rehab from his injury without undergoing Tommy John surgery.
