Sports Illustrated • • sports
Key Points:
- Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Tyler Glasnow exited Wednesday's game against the Houston Astros in the second inning due to low back pain, a concerning development given his recent injury history.
- Glasnow had spent nearly three weeks on the injured list in July 2024 for lower back tightness and has a history of injuries including Tommy John surgery in 2021 and shoulder issues in 2023.
- Despite the injury, Glasnow reached a milestone by recording his 1,000th career strikeout during the game and currently holds a 2.72 ERA with 49 strikeouts over 39.2 innings this season.
- If Glasnow requires time on the injured list, the Dodgers are likely to replace him in the rotation with Blake Snell, who is currently on a rehab assignment and expected to return soon.
- The Dodgers' decision on roster moves involving other pitchers like Emmet Sheehan, Justin Wrobleski, or Roki Sasaki may be postponed depending on Glasnow's injury status.
