Tyler Glasnow returned to the Dodgers' rotation after 73 days on the injured list due to right shoulder inflammation. He pitched five innings, allowing two hits and one unearned run. Glasnow has thrown only 23 innings this season, limited by injuries since his acquisition. Dodgers manager Dave Roberts emphasized the team's need for Glasnow's dependability. Despite his injuries, Glasnow boasts a 3.18 ERA and impressive strikeout rates when healthy. The team believed his health issues were resolved upon signing him, yet consistency remains a challenge as they want to see more from his performance on the field.
"I know no one is more frustrated than Tyler is. You love the guy. You love the teammate. Certainly the talent is undeniable. But I think for me, for us - you want the dependability. That's something that I'm looking for from Tyler from here on out. To know what you're going to get when he takes that ball every fifth or sixth day."
"The ability, the production when he's healthy, when he's right, he's as good as there is in the game. We wouldn't have locked him up (to a multi-year contract) if we didn't feel that way, right? It's in there. It's been in there. That's what we need to get back to consistently."
