Los Angeles Dodgers right-handed pitcher Tyler Glasnow left his second consecutive start with an injury. In Sunday’s game against the Pittsburgh Pirates, Glasnow exited due to right shoulder discomfort.

Glasnow, who left his last start against the Texas Rangers because of leg cramps, provided the latest update on his shoulder following Sunday’s 9-2 victory. He was visibly upset about the latest setback.
“Frustrated,” he said. “The extensions trying to throw, something grabbed. I think just making changes, trying to stay healthy. It’s just extremely frustrating.
“It kind of comes and goes. I think I’ll change something else in my mechanics, and nothing feels connected. I think mechanical stuff, other things are taking over stressing other parts. I don’t know just trying to figure it out.”
Glasnow threw just 17 pitches before making his untimely departure. As he was warming up ahead of the second inning, the right-hander was seen shaking out his arm.
“I’m not sure yet,” Glasnow said on whether he would get imaging on his shoulder.
Given the nature of Glasnow’s injury, a stint on the injured list seems realistic. The right-hander would join two-time Cy Young winner Blake Snell on IL.
Snell was placed on the 15-day IL April 6, and his timeline to return remains uncertain. Roberts said Snell could make a start as soon as this week, but another setback in his rehab scrapped those plans.
One month into the season, the Dodgers could have two starters on the IL. Though, Tony Gonsolin and Clayton Kershaw are currently on rehab assignments with Triple-A Oklahoma City.

Yet Buehler, who the shortsighted and “big name” pursuing management refused to even give a QO to, continues to perform quite well for the Red Sox. Last 5 outings, all 5 wins for Boston, 29.1 IP, 12 ERs (5 in the oldest of these, so 7 in his last 4 starts), 9 walks, 26 SOs, throwing anywhere from 83 to 100 pitches in those games. The fewest number of batters he’s faced is 21. You know, kind of what you’d want from a starting pitcher. Seriously, one of, if not THE worst decisions made by this management team. Finally was healthy as we all saw in the playoffs and WS and they let him walk. Pathetic.
Mike-had read somewhere that Walker
preferred a ‘change of scenery’ & was under
the impression Dodgers offered the QO!
To use a phrase from the 1970″s, Mike H is “right on”. I don’t know what the answer is but I know what the question should be; when will the Dodgers realize that their approach to the pitching staff does not work and who can fix it? It seems nearly every decision about the pitching staff is wrong. For example, it is only April and although the Dodgers had about 47 starting pitchers on the roster when the season started (sarcasm), they are already using bullpen games. This is not an unusual situation. For several years they consistently have far too many pitchers with arm issues. Some one from the Dodgers should step up and admit that their approach to pitchers is a disaster. What a shame !!!!!!!!
