"We talked to Tyler, and we just felt that it was just the right thing to do,"
"It was smart. Probably could have tried to pitch through it. But it's early, and to be prudent, to be smart, play the long game, and Tyler was completely on board with that."
"The team's official injury diagnosis for Glasnow was low back spasms, and nothing more significant came up later in the day that made them put the 32-year-old on the injured list. Instead, the Dodgers decided it would be the best move for the long term."
"The expectation is for Glasnow missed more than the minimum 15 days. Given the expected short stint on the IL, Roberts shared he "wouldn't be surprised if Glasnow starts playing catch [on Saturday].""
Tyler Glasnow was uncertain for Friday’s game because of lower back tightness and discomfort. MRI results did not show significant concerns, but the Dodgers ultimately placed him on the 15-day injured list after discussions with him. The official diagnosis was low back spasms, and no additional developments later in the day changed the decision. Manager Dave Roberts said the team chose to be prudent and play the long game rather than attempt to pitch through the issue. The expectation is that Glasnow will miss more than 15 days, though he could begin playing catch soon. He likely will not require a rehab assignment, but will pitch in simulated games before returning to the rotation.
