The Dodgers announced that they have placed right-hander on the 15-day injured list with lower back tightne s. Righty has been recalled in a corresponding move. Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic previously relayed word from manager Dave Roberts that Glasnow would be hitting the IL since his back tightened up on Sunday and Ardaya also about Petersens presence in the clubhouse Nerlens Noel Jersey . Per Jack Harris of the Los Angeles Times , the team is hoping its a minor i sue and that Glasnow could be back shortly after the All-Star break. Around the All-Star break, teams are generally more willing to give players a stint on the IL even for something small as it can allow the player to mi s fewer games than otherwise. With the four-day break coming up next week, Glasnow might only mi s a couple of turns through the rotation before returning. Its also po sible that the Dodgers are using this minor i sue and the break to simply get Glasnow a bit of rest. Due to some notable injuries earlier in his career, his career high for innings pitched in a major league season is the 120 frames he pitched with the Rays last year. Hes already at 109 innings here in 2024 and will surely set a new benchmark as long as he returns from this back i sue in good form and avoids any other injury stints. By and large, the Dodgers have seemed willing to pump the brakes on the regular season workloads of their pitchers with the aim of keeping everyone healthy for later in the year and into the postseason. They have been fairly committed to giving their starters more rest than other clubs, often deploying bullpen games or spot starts in order to keep their starters from getting overworked, and this may be part of that as well. Glasnows results have been strong on the year, as he has allowed 3.47 earned runs per nine frames. He has struck out 33.6% of batters faced while limiting walks to a 6.8% clip. Hes also kept 48.2% of balls in play on the ground. Despite those grounders, the home runs have been an i sue, with 14% of his fly balls leaving the yard. Thats above the 11.2% league average this year but below Glasnows career rate of 15.5%. In the meantime, the club will have to navigate the next portion of their schedule without those contributions. just came up to make a spot start but is still with the club, so perhaps he will stick around to help cover for Glasnow in the rotation alongside , , and . The club also has on the roster for some multi-inning relief work. is on optional a signment while prospect is in Triple-A but not on the 40-man roster. Fairly or unfairly, Glasnow has reputation for being injury prone but theres nothing at this point to suggest this is anything more than a precautionary move. The Dodgers are 7.5 games up on the Padres in the West and, as mentioned, have been on the precautionary side with their pitchers all year. Nonethele s, the constant rotating of pitchers on and off the IL will be an interesting situation to monitor. Significant rotation injuries seemed to undercut the club in the postseason last year. Currently, the club has Glasnow, , , , , and all on the injured list. Sheehan is done for the year after undergoing Tommy John surgery in May and Gonsolin is unlikely to come back this season with his own Tommy John procedure having taken place at the start of September last year. But the others are all candidates to return at some point in the second half, joining the current rotation mix. Even if a few of those guys suffer setbacks, the Dodgers should have more healthy rotation options in October than they did at that time last year. Frank Jackson Jersey
