The Los Angeles Dodgers have placed Tyler Glasnow, their right-handed starting pitcher, on the 15-day injured list due to back tightness. Manager Dave Roberts stated that they anticipate his return to the rotation after the All-Star break, as reported by MLB.com’s Juan Toribio.
This is not Glasnow’s first encounter with health issues, as this marks his fifth stint on the IL in just over seven years of MLB experience. Mainly due to arm problems, he has never been able to reach a qualifying innings total in a season. Last year with the Rays, he pitched a career-high 120 innings.
Despite the setback, Glasnow, who recently earned his first All-Star selection, has had a productive season with the Dodgers. In 18 starts, he boasts a 3.47 ERA/115 ERA+ with an NL-leading 143 strikeouts and 29 walks in 109 innings.
While the injury does not seem severe, it comes at a challenging time for the Dodgers, who have been plagued by various injuries in recent weeks. Glasnow joins a lengthy list of sidelined players, including key starters and several relievers.
The Dodgers’ depth and resilience have allowed them to maintain a substantial lead in the NL West and remain on track for a successful season, despite the mounting injury concerns. However, the team’s depth will continue to be tested as they navigate through a series of setbacks.
