Tyler Glasnow To Be Shut Down 10 to 14 Days

By Darragh McDonald | April 30, 2025 at 6:32pm CDT

The Dodgers placed right-hander Tyler Glasnow on the 15-day injured list due to shoulder inflammation this week. It seems he’ll be out longer than that. Manager Dave Roberts tells Sonja Chen of MLB.com that Glasnow will be shut down from throwing for 10 to 14 days and will be re-evaluated from there.

It’s a different outlook compared to just two days ago. When Glasnow landed on the IL on Monday, Roberts downplayed the severity. He said that Glasnow was merely dealing with “overall body soreness” but didn’t have anything structurally wrong with his shoulder.

A shutdown period of 10 to 14 days means that Glasnow will be gone longer than that. Even if he’s cleared to resume throwing at that time, he would have to ramp back up and perhaps make a few rehab starts in the minor leagues.

Glasnow has a reputation for strong work on a rate basis but he’s never logged bulk innings. He got to 134 frames last year, a personal high despite it being his ninth major league season. Elbow problems, including 2021 Tommy John surgery, have often been the culprit. He’s also had some back and oblique issues over the years, with this shoulder inflammation the latest problem.

It seems the Dodgers will have to assume that they won’t have Glasnow for at least a few weeks, perhaps longer, depending on how he responds in the next 10 to 14 days. They started the season with Glasnow in the rotation alongside Blake Snell, Yoshinobu Yamamoto, Roki Sasaki and Dustin May.

The group has thinned since then. Snell hit the IL after just two starts, due to inflammation in his throwing shoulder. The Dodgers also thought that was a relatively minor issue, though Snell was eventually shut down due to ongoing soreness. Glasnow is now in a somewhat similar boat, with an uncertain path back from a shutdown period.

Tony Gonsolin started the season on the IL due to a back injury but was reinstated today. He gives the club a fourth starter alongside May, Yamamoto and Sasaki. The Dodgers are off tomorrow, which will give the staff a bit of a breather, but they play ten straight after that.

Ben Casparius and Yoendrys Gómez are both currently in the bullpen and capable of working multiple innings. Justin Wrobleski, Bobby Miller, Landon Knack and Matt Sauer are currently on optional assignment but have been up with the big league club at times to help out and could do so again.

Clayton Kershaw is on a rehab assignment but is also on the 60-day IL, meaning he can’t rejoin the club for a few more weeks. Shohei Ohtani is theoretically going to return to the mound at some point this year, though it’s unclear how the Dodgers plan to have him ramp up while also serving as the designated hitter, or when that will be. He underwent UCL surgery late in 2023 and didn’t pitch last year. He also required arthroscopic shoulder surgery on his non-throwing arm just after the club’s World Series victory in the fall.

It’s possible the club will be getting Glasnow, Snell, Kershaw and Ohtani back into the mix in the coming weeks or months but there’s not much clarity in there and the team will have to patch things together until then, likely with some spot starts or bullpen games, or perhaps one of their depth guys will get a longer rotation audition. The Dodgers are also keeping Yamamoto and Sasaki on the weekly pitching schedule preferred in Japan, which will increase the likelihood of creative solutions.

    *Two weeks off to recover? Waste of a contract. See? This is why you don’t give any free agents any money and you DFA the entire team every season off of league minimum contracts and start from scratch with independent league scabs- every year. These team owners- they do not get to keep enough of the revenue and these players wanting to be able to afford groceries, rent, home ownership, etc. are just ungrateful.

    A mini bag of cheetos, a half size can of coca-cola and a Motel 6 voucher is basically the Taj Mahal of deals and these guys think they deserve better!?*

    *Sarcasm..

    Seems like a pretty minor lay off for such a potentially disastrous injury. The catch-22 of all these hard throwing pitchers is gonna be the fragility- be it Glasnow, deGrom, Snell, etc.

        “Your powt was the worst I’ve ever read”….First day online, eh? I remember my first day online like it was yesterday. And when my parents finally let me go on my own it was very uplifting.

        I think the more experience you gain online, I think you’ll actually find much “worse” posts than that one. Again, I’d like to congratulate you on finally getting online.

      2 weeks of immobilization for the inflammation to subside so an MRI can be effectively utilized for a diagnosis. Then either rest/rehab/surgery. Suspect Glass is done for 2025.

    Fortunately, Glasnow’s hair was uninjured and will remain on the active 26 man roster for the foreseeable future.

      Unfortunately, Tony Manero’s father was seen in the vicinity. He will hurt that hair.

      I guess he didn’t read the clause in his contract requiring him to communicate every single detail with you.

          If you want to put it that way, I don’t see any advantage to saying anything to anyone. The other assumption that seems strange to me is why anyone would expect a full and final medical diagnosis within 24 hours. In what universe does this happen? When your doctor says we need to run some tests, is he lying?

    Car Owner: My car is a lemon! It seems to always need repairs!

    Mechanic: I think your car is fine have you considered not driving it 120 mph everywhere you go? It’s not going to last treating it like that.

    Car Owner: No! A car is worthless unless I can push it full speed 100% of the time!

    It’s insane at this point how we keep acting like it’s a shock guys throwing 99 mph with high spin rates can’t seem to stay healthy.

      Black Ace57: If pitchers are going to hurt their arms anyway, they might as well dust off the screwball. Pitchers who threw it had one arm longer than the other. Something different.

        That’s fine. If you want to use pitchers like the NFL uses running backs with a short shelf life then that’s a strategy that can be used. I’m just tired of the complaining that fans expect pitchers to stay healthy when the evidence is overwhelming that high mph and high spin rates destroy arms.

    Shut down for 14 days. Best case is another three weeks to ramp back up.

    It’s frustrating seeing pitchers go down like that. Not sure what the solution would be, though. Sacrificing anything would mean hitters eat them alive. We see that when guys try to pitch with diminished stuff, they get lit up.

    This is why every former Rays pitcher comes with an asterisk. The Rays usually destroy these guys’ arms to get the desired results. Good when healthy… If they’re healthy
