Dodgers Transfer Tyler Glasnow to 60-Day IL and Add Nick Frasso to 40-Man Roster

Freeing a 40-man spot, the move signals medical caution as Glasnow remains shut down from throwing with no firm return date.

Overview

  • The Dodgers formally moved Tyler Glasnow to the 60-day injured list on Saturday, a procedural step that makes him ineligible to return until at least July 6.
  • Manager Dave Roberts said team doctors have not cleared Glasnow to begin a throwing progression and that the pitcher is currently shut down while his back is monitored.
  • Los Angeles added right-hander Nick Frasso to the 40-man roster in the corresponding move and will keep him with Triple-A Oklahoma City for now.
  • Glasnow has a history of recurring lower-back spasms and left his May 6 start in Houston after one inning, so the team called the transfer a cautious decision rather than a set timetable for return.
  • The Dodgers’ rotation has performed well without Glasnow so far, but a prolonged absence could force internal promotion or trade-deadline interest in starting pitching.
