The righty had plenty of talent in his arm, but he'll call it a career at age 26 after injuries got the best of him. He didn't throw a pitch at any level in 2019 and threw a combined 48.1 innings across all levels in the two preceding seasons. He'll wind up a story of unfulfilled potential, having saved nine games in just 55.1 career big-league innings while posting a 4.55 ERA.

It sounds like his options were either Tommy John surgery or an injection and some rest, and he opted for the latter. Glover has not pitched since 2018, and it doesn't sound like a return to MLB action is in the cards anytime soon. His status will likely be updated in a couple months.

Glover has been battling a forearm strain since late February. The transaction doesn't appear to have a significant impact on his return date, as he was already not expected to return until late May. Carter Kieboom's contract was selected in a corresponding move.

Glover noted that he's about two weeks ahead of schedule compared to what the Nationals anticipated after shutting him down early in spring training with a right forearm strain. Even so, the Nationals likely won't have an idea regarding a target date for the right-hander's return until he has been cleared to face hitters again. Since Glover has yet to advance even to mound work at this point, there's reason to think his absence will stretch deep into May, if not later.
