Overview

  • Tyler Glasnow exited Sunday's start after one inning due to right shoulder discomfort, following a previous early departure caused by leg cramps.
  • Manager Dave Roberts stated that a move to the injured list for Glasnow is under active consideration, though the team has not yet scheduled an MRI.
  • The Dodgers are already managing a depleted rotation with Blake Snell on the IL for shoulder inflammation and Clayton Kershaw and Tony Gonsolin working on their returns.
  • Rookie Ben Casparius stepped up in relief, delivering 3⅔ scoreless innings as the Dodgers secured a 9-2 victory over the Pittsburgh Pirates with strong offensive support.
  • Glasnow's recurring injuries, including elbow tendinitis last season, highlight ongoing challenges for the Dodgers' pitching depth early in the 2025 campaign.
