DodgersTyler Glasnow Exits Start With Lower Back Pain After 1,000th K

Evaluation is pending, with Blake Snell positioned to step in if an IL move follows.

Overview

  • Glasnow, who left Wednesday’s game in Houston while warming up for the second inning, was replaced by right-hander Jack Dreyer.
  • The Dodgers said he departed with lower back pain, with the severity still under evaluation.
  • He yielded a leadoff homer in the first, then struck out Yordan Alvarez for his 1,000th career punchout, reaching the mark faster than any starting pitcher at 793 innings, according to MLB.com.
  • He entered the day 3-0 with a 2.56 ERA and a 0.83 WHIP, putting a strong start at risk if he misses time.
  • If the Dodgers place him on the injured list, they could fill his rotation turn by activating Blake Snell, who is nearing a return from a rehab assignment.
