A pair of Dodgers pitchers will start minor league rehab assignments on Sunday. Tyler Glasnow starts for Triple-A Oklahoma City in a game that starts at 1:35 p.m PT, and Luis García will pitch at some point for Low-A Rancho Cucamonga in a game that starts at 2 p.m.
Glasnow, out since April 28 with shoulder inflammation, figures to make at least three rehab starts before a possible return to the rotation. García has been out since June 1 with a right adductor strain.
