Glasnow to make second spring start Wednesday
Tyler Glasnow will take the mound for his next Cactus League start on Wednesday against Team Mexico, marking his second appearance this spring after throwing 33 pitches in two-plus innings in his debut against the Chicago White Sox; he faced one batter in the third inning by design.

Dodgers Vs Mexico at Camelback Ranch
The exhibition at Camelback Ranch is one of a handful of matchups this week pairing Major League clubs with World Baseball Classic teams — across Arizona and Florida there are 31 such games on the docket Tuesday and Wednesday — as preparation ahead of tournament play. The teams drawn into Pools A, B, and D will gather in San Juan, Houston, and Miami, and tournament play for those pools begins on Friday.
What the game delivers now
Though the Dodgers do not have an official Cactus League game on Wednesday, the Team Mexico exhibition gives pitchers like Glasnow a controlled outing against non-MLB competition and gives position players a chance to face international lineups ahead of World Baseball Classic action.

Dodgers fans can expect Glasnow on the bump Wednesday at Camelback Ranch and the wider WBC schedule to begin on Friday when tournament play starts in the listed host cities.
