"The big righty felt a back spasm while warming up in the second inning of today's start in Houston. The Dodgers got him out of the game at that point. Roberts said the team doesn't believe Glasnow will need a stint on the injured list. The pitcher said it's a recurring issue which he battles a couple times per season."
"Glasnow allowed a leadoff home run to Brice Matthews before rebounding with strikeouts of Yordan Alvarez and Isaac Paredes. He became the 45th active pitcher to reach 1000 career punchouts in the process. Glasnow has fanned just under a third of opponents en route to a 2.72 earned run average over his first seven starts."
"L.A. entered play on Wednesday as one of the two teams (along with the Yankees) whose rotation had a sub-3.00 earned run average. Shohei Ohtani was the National League's Pitcher of the Month for April. Justin Wrobleski is second in MLB behind Ohtani in ERA. Glasnow and Yoshinobu Yamamoto have each pitched very well."
Tyler Glasnow left Wednesday's game against Houston after experiencing a back spasm during warm-ups in the second inning. Manager Dave Roberts indicated the pitcher will undergo a precautionary MRI but doesn't expect him to require injured list placement. Glasnow described the issue as recurring, occurring a couple times annually. Before exiting, he struck out Yordan Alvarez and Isaac Paredes, becoming the 45th active pitcher to reach 1,000 career strikeouts. The Dodgers won 12-2, with their bullpen handling the workload efficiently. Los Angeles maintains one of baseball's best rotations with a sub-3.00 ERA, featuring strong performances from Ohtani, Wrobleski, and Glasnow.
