Tyler Glasnow Shut Down From Throwing for Dodgers

Los Angeles Dodgers right-handed pitcher Tyler Glasnow will not throw for 10-14 days and will be re-evaluated from there, manager Dave Roberts announced this week. Glasnow was placed on the injured list with right shoulder inflammation.

The latest update does not bode well for the 31-year-old, whose injury saga has exhausted himself, the team, and fans.

“There’s the mechanics piece of it,” Roberts said. “There’s being uncomfortable, not feeling right. I think we’re all just – as Tyler said it – very frustrated and trying to get to the bottom of it.”

Roberts previously said Glasnow’s shoulder injury was “probably not” a long-term concern; however, the Dodgers shutting him down from throwing indicates it will take some time for Glasnow to return to the mound.

Since being traded to the Dodgers ahead of the 2024 season, Glasnow has dealt with five different injuries. In 2024, the right-hander dealt with cramps, back issues, and an elbow sprain that sidelined him for the postseason.

In the opening month of this season, Glasnow has dealt with cramps and a shoulder injury. Glasnow left two consecutive starts because of injury.

Glasnow has no answers as to why he is so often dealing with an injury, and neither do the Dodgers.

“I just don’t really have an answer right now, and I think that’s the most frustrating thing,” he said. “It’s not a lack of trying. It’s just kind of just getting exhausting at this point. I know it’s probably exhausting for a lot of people, for me especially.. … I feel bad for my teammates. I feel bad for people watching. It’s just … a whole very frustrating situation for me. It’s hard.”
