Tyler Glasnow Faces Injuries as Dodgers’ Rotation Struggles
LOS ANGELES — Tyler Glasnow has been placed on the injured list due to shoulder inflammation, but team officials suggest his real challenge may be Grade 1 frustration. After leaving his last two starts early due to cramping and shoulder soreness, Glasnow expressed deep frustration over adjustments made to his routine and mechanics in efforts to stave off recurring injuries.
Dodgers manager Dave Roberts reported that Glasnow experienced "overall body soreness" during a doctor’s examination, although they determined no structural damage to his shoulder. Roberts emphasized the importance of caution, especially with pitchers reporting discomfort.
The situation has further depleted the Dodgers’ rotation, already missing Blake Snell, who is recovering from shoulder issues. In the meantime, Tony Gonsolin will return to the mound for the first time since his Tommy John surgery, while Clayton Kershaw is still weeks away from returning to action.
As the team faces a stretch of 19 games in 20 days, the reliance on relievers has escalated, leading to concerns about overextending their bullpen. Meanwhile, outfielder Andy Pages has been a bright spot, earning National League Player of the Week honors with impressive performance.
