Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said Wednesday that Glasnow (shoulder) will be shut down 10-to-14 days before being re-evaluated, Sonja Chen of MLB.com reports.
Glasnow was placed on the 15-day injured list Monday with right shoulder inflammation and will not do any throwing for a while. Given the length of the shutdown period, it's difficult to imagine the right-hander will be able to return before June even in a best-case scenario.

Dodgers' Tyler Glasnow: Officially placed on IL
Rotowire
Glasnow has been placed on the 15-day injured list due to right shoulder inflammation, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.
The Dodgers announced earlier Monday that a trip to the injured list appeared likely for Glasnow, and the club made the move official a short time later. Noah Davis was recalled from Triple-A Oklahoma City in a corresponding move, though Ben Casparius appears to be one of the top candidates to replace Glasnow in the starting rotation.

Dodgers' Tyler Glasnow: IL stint appears likely
Rotowire
Manager Dave Roberts stated Monday that Glasnow is likely looking at a stint on the 15-day injured list, and he's now being evaluated by the club's medical staff for overall body soreness in addition to right shoulder soreness, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.
It was initially reported that a trip to the injured list was merely a possibility for Glasnow, but further evaluation has revealed that a shut-down period is likely necessary. The 31-year-old departed Sunday's start against the Pirates due to right shoulder discomfort, and the team is still working to determine the extent of the issue after it was revealed Monday that Glasnow is also dealing with overall body soreness.

Dodgers' Tyler Glasnow: Facing potential IL stint
Rotowire
Glasnow could be set for a stint on the injured list after exiting Sunday's start against the Pirates due to right shoulder discomfort, Sonja Chen of MLB.com reports.
The right-hander described the injury as something that "kind of comes and goes," and he felt it grab at him while warming up for his second inning on the mound. Manager Dave Roberts said that he's more worried about Glasnow in the short-term than the long-term, suggesting that he believes the issue to be a minor concern. That being said, Roberts outlined that a stint on the IL is "certainly a possibility" for Glasnow, per Benjamin Royer of L.A. Times Sports. The 31-year-old will likely undergo additional imaging on his shoulder in the near future.

Dodgers' Tyler Glasnow: Managing shoulder issue
Rotowire
Glasnow was removed from Sunday's start against the Pirates due to right shoulder discomfort, David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports.
Glasnow threw 17 pitches and surrendered two solo homers during the opening frame, but he didn't seem to be in any visible discomfort until he began throwing his warm-up tosses for the second inning. The right-hander also left his start last weekend with lower leg cramps, but this is a much more concerning diagnosis. Glasnow should be considered day-to-day for now, but any arm issue puts his availability for the next turn through the rotation up in the air.

Dodgers' Tyler Glasnow: Again departs with injury
Rotowire
Glasnow was removed from Sunday's start against the Pirates due to an apparent injury, Sonja Chen of MLB.com reports.
The right-hander exited his previous start last weekend due to cramps in his right lower leg, but it's unclear exactly what prompted his departure from Sunday's contest after throwing some warmup tosses ahead of the second inning. Glasnow surrendered a pair of solo homers during the opening frame before leaving the contest.

Dodgers' Tyler Glasnow: Confirmed for next start
Rotowire
Glasnow (lower leg) is listed as the Dodgers' starting pitcher for Sunday's game against the Pirates in Los Angeles.
Glasnow was lifted after four innings during his previous start Sunday after experiencing right lower leg cramps, but the Dodgers never expected him to miss any turns through the rotation. After getting some extra time to recover, Glasnow shouldn't face any workload restrictions when he takes the hill on six days' rest. Though he sports an elevated walk rate (13.9 percent) through his first four starts, most of Glasnow's other ratios (3.71 ERA, 1.18 WHIP, 31.9 K%) have been solid. Fantasy managers shouldn't have any qualms about making him active Sunday in a home matchup against one of baseball's weaker offenses.

Dodgers' Tyler Glasnow: Expected to make next start
Rotowire
Glasnow (lower leg) is expected to make his next start Sunday versus the Pirates, David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports.
Glasnow departed Sunday's 1-0 win over the Rangers in the fifth inning due to cramping in his right lower leg, but manager Dave Roberts said following the game that the right-hander will likely be set for his next turn in the rotation. Glasnow tossed four scoreless innings before leaving the game Sunday, allowing three hits and a walk while striking out six batters. Through four starts in 2025, the right-hander has compiled a 3.71 ERA and 1.18 WHIP with 23 strikeouts over 17 innings.

Dodgers' Tyler Glasnow: Bounces back in no-decision
Rotowire
Glasnow did not factor into the decision in Sunday's 4-2 loss to the Cubs, pitching six innings while allowing two runs on three hits and a walk. He struck out seven.
After yielding five runs over two innings in his previous outing, Glasnow looked much sharper in this 98-pitch effort but generated a middling seven whiffs. The two blemishes on the right-hander's evening were a pair of solo shots -- one by Pete Crow-Armstrong in the third, the other by Michael Busch in the sixth. Through 13 innings, Glasnow's ERA now stands at 4.85 and is paired with a 17:9 K:BB. He currently lines up to make his next start against the Rangers on the road next weekend.

Dodgers' Tyler Glasnow: Implodes in no-decision
Rotowire
Glasnow did not factor into the decision in Sunday's 8-7 loss to the Phillies, allowing five runs on two hits and five walks with two strikeouts over two innings.
Glasnow was handed a two-run lead in the first inning but came undone in the third as rain began to fall in Philadelphia. He gave up a run and allowed five consecutive batters to reach base before being pulled for Alex Vesia, who promptly surrendered a grand slam on his first pitch. The 31-year-old Glasnow owns a 6.43 ERA, 1.71 WHIP and 10:8 K:BB across seven innings this season and will try to rebound at home against the Cubs next weekend.

Dodgers' Tyler Glasnow: Cruises to victory in 2025 debut
Rotowire
Glasnow (1-0) pitched five scoreless innings in a 6-1 win over Atlanta on Monday, allowing two hits and issuing three walks while striking out eight batters.
Glasnow didn't get his first start until the Dodgers' sixth game of the campaign due partly to the fact that over a week went by between the team's season-opening two-game set in Tokyo, Japan and its stateside opener in Los Angeles. Nonetheless, the right-hander looked like an ace in his 2025 debut, racking up 13 whiffs and eight punchouts while cruising through five scoreless frames. Atlanta didn't manage any extra-base hits off Glasnow and got just one runner to third base. Glasnow has had trouble avoiding injuries throughout his career, but if he can stay healthy, he'll be a vital part of Los Angeles' vaunted rotation.

Dodgers' Tyler Glasnow: Racks up nine Ks in final tune-up
Rotowire
Glasnow pitched five innings in an exhibition contest against the Angels on Monday, allowing one run on two hits and one walk while striking out nine batters.
Glasnow gave up a home run to the first batter he faced (Taylor Ward), then surrendered a single to Mike Trout two batters later. From then on, the right-handed hurler was almost perfect, as he retired 14 of the final 15 hitters he faced. Glasnow induced 15 whiffs among his 73 pitches in the outing and topped out at 98.2 mph on the radar gun. The Dodgers have lined up Blake Snell, Yoshinobu Yamamoto and Roki Sasaki to take the mound during their first home series beginning Thursday, so Glasnow will have to wait until next Monday versus Atlanta to make his first start of the regular season.

Dodgers' Tyler Glasnow: Yields two runs in spring debut
Rotowire
Glasnow pitched one inning against Cincinnati in a Cactus League contest Monday, allowing two runs on three hits while striking out two batters.
Glasnow struck out the first two batters he faced before giving up three straight hits, including a two-run double by Austin Hays that ended with Hays getting thrown out at third base. Glasnow threw just 16 pitches in the frame, so he did some more throwing in the bullpen after he was lifted, per Jack Harris of the Los Angeles Times. The right-hander isn't scheduled to start either of the Dodgers' two Tokyo contests versus the Cubs to kick off the MLB regular season, but he's expected to pitch in one of the team's two exhibition games in Japan versus teams from the Nippon Professional Baseball Organization leading up to the series against Chicago, per Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register.

Dodgers' Tyler Glasnow: Faces off versus hitters Tuesday
Rotowire
Glasnow (elbow) is scheduled to throw a live batting practice session Tuesday, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.
Glasnow finished his first season in Los Angeles on the injured list due to a right elbow sprain, but he didn't require offseason surgery and said in November that he had fully healed from the injury. The Dodgers' decision to let him face hitters in the second week of spring training supports the notion that Glasnow is back to full health, putting him on track to be available when Los Angeles opens its regular season March 18 versus the Cubs in Tokyo. Despite concluding the 2024 campaign on the shelf, the oft-injured Glasnow was still able to establish career highs in starts (22) and innings (134) while going 9-6 with a 3.49 ERA, 0.95 WHIP and 168:35 K:BB. In an effort to help preserve Glasnow and the team's other starting pitchers throughout the long season, the Dodgers are once again expected to utilize a six-man rotation in 2025. The arrangement will suppress Glasnow's counting statistics relative to other starting pitchers coming off the board around his range in fantasy drafts, but the 6-foot-8 right-hander should remain one of the top performing starters on a per-inning basis.

Dodgers' Tyler Glasnow: Appears to be past elbow injury
Rotowire
Glasnow (elbow) indicated Saturday that his most recent MRI came back clean and that he's been throwing as usual during the offseason, Rowan Kavner of FOX Sports reports. "I've been throwing normal, throwing bullpens, and I feel as good as I've ever felt," Glasnow stated.
Speaking at the team's DodgerFest event, Glasnow explained that the elbow injury that ended his 2024 season turned out to be just tendinitis. The veteran right-hander stated back in November that he was planning to throw twice per week throughout the offseason without an extended break, and it appears that his work this winter has gone smoothly. Given Glasnow's comments, it seems likely that he will be ready to pitch by the time Los Angeles kicks off its season in Tokyo, Japan on March 18, though it's not yet clear if he'll be one of the team's starters for the two-game set against the Cubs.

Dodgers' Tyler Glasnow: Says elbow is fully healed
Rotowire
Glasnow said in an interview on Foul Territory TV in late October that he had imaging on his right elbow recently and "it looks like it's fully healed."
Glasnow also mentioned that he planned to throw twice per week throughout the offseason rather than taking an extended break as he has done in the past, with the goal being to "try to get my tissue used to that workload." The righty's final appearance for the Dodgers this season came on Aug. 11, and imaging after a setback in September showed a sprain. While the early offseason prognosis appears positive, Glasnow still has a long ways to go to prove he can handle a regular workload -- last season's 134 innings were a career high.

Glasnow was shut down after being diagnosed with a right elbow sprain Sept. 14. While he isn't expected to undergo surgery, Glasnow has been restricted to rehab on his elbow, and he noted Friday that a more definitive recovery plan will be put in place once he undergoes more scans, per Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic. Glasgow went 9-6 during the regular season with a 3.49 ERA, 0.95 WHIP and 168:35 K:BB across 134 innings.

Glasnow reported discomfort in his elbow while warming up for a simulated game Friday. While the Dodgers skipper didn't get into specific details regarding the right-hander's status, it seems there may still be a chance he returns in time to make another start before the end of the regular season.
