The Dodgers have shifted right-hander Tyler Glasnow from the 15-day to the 60-day IL. Glasnow is dealing with a back injury. The club has added right-handed Nick Frasso to the 40-man roster.
Glasnow hit the 15-day IL on May 8 due to lower back spasms. He was removed from a start against the Astros on June 6 after one inning. The big righty has yet to resume throwing, relays Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic. Given where he’s at in his recovery, it’s unsurprising to see Glasnow shifted to the 60-day IL. He’ll be eligible to return in early July, but that seems like a stretch at this point. The Dodgers will likely bring Glasnow along slowly with his extensive injury history.
Frasso exercised an upward mobility clause in his contract, per Ardaya. The righty will remain at Triple-A, but he’s now on the 40-man. The move allows the club to keep him in the organization.
The Dodgers originally acquired Frasso along with lefty Moises Brito in an August 2022 trade that sent righty Mitch White and second baseman Alex De Jesus to the Blue Jays. Frasso pitched well in the minors, reaching Triple-A by 2023. He was sidelined for all of 2024 after shoulder surgery. Frasso had some prospect pedigree as recently as last season, with MLB Pipeline ranking him at No. 13 in the Dodgers system. He scuffled to a 5.49 ERA in 77 innings with Oklahoma City in 2025 and slipped off most prospect rankings.
Frasso tested free agency in November, but ultimately landed back with the Dodgers. The 27-year-old will now have a better chance to get a look with the big-league club now that he’s on the 40-man roster. The righty was exclusively a starter in LA’s organization until last year, when he mostly pitched out of the bullpen. Frasso has a 4.85 ERA in 11 minor league appearances this year. He’s spiked a 38.7% strikeout rate, but it’s come with a career-worst 16.1% walk rate.

What could have been.
Glasnow injured? What a surprise … must have been Farhan’s idea to nab this guy!
Definitely Friedman. He loves Rays players. Even if they were a 40 year old reliever who has been out of the league for 3 years. He would still give them a chance.
Glasnow was stellar in last years playoff run, money is not an issue, so I’m sure they are still happy they nabbed him
For back spasms? Seriously?
Says someone who’s clearly never experienced them.
And another great response.
Right? Back spasms are NO JOKE.
I think the confusion maybe came from the 60 day dl transfer. I haven’t heard of a guy missing months from back spasms in awhile, hopefully it is not indicative of a larger problem
One of these days some contract insurance guru will detail 1. Premium costs 2. Percentage of the contract that is insured 3. Any arbitration details between the club and the insurer.
And promptly get sued by all interested parties for violating their NDA, which was undoubtedly signed if they have this knowledge.
Which is why it’s so hard to get this information.
Fans already go crazy about contract numbers. Then they go crazy over CBA tax dollars on top of the contract. Imagine adding known insurance costs on top of that. Madness.

The rest of this article has been deferred it seems
Deferred to the end of the season and postseason, which is when he’ll be back. And where his true value lies.
Actually he’s supposed to be a great surfer. That’s where his true heart lies but he sold out for the big paycheck & a chronically balky back. Sometimes deals with the Devil at the crossroads at midnight are not worth making. He could have been Steve McQueen with a surfboard instead he’s Mr. Farley-era Don Knotts with a 12-6 curveball that leaks center-center.
So now he’s rich and can still surf when he retires. Which is young for anyone else retiring.
Good looking guy who grew up in SoCal, is laid back, has money, and when he hits age 35-36 will have multiple world series rings, which is the pinnacle of his chosen profession. I fail to see the failure here.
First time reading MLBTR? They typically post a shorter quick-hit piece for breaking news, then flesh out more details later.
I look forward to the “More to come…” Frasso being healthy enough to be a consideration is the most stunning thing that’s happened to the Dodgers this season.
When we signed him I was like, well, he’ll be “glass now”. But seriously we all know him and Snell are on the Phantom IL until October.
Players often have surgery for phantom injuries?
I don’t believe this, but it makes for a great conspiracy theory.
Snell has had loose bodies in his elbow for years according to everyone.
Skubal just had nanoscopic surgery (new procedure)for loose bodies in his elbow.
Snell had the same procedure. Around the same time.
Might they be using Snell as a control to determine how viable Skubal would be if they traded for him?
Snell was likely going to need the elbow cleaned up at some point. Same surgery, same timeline, both elite pitchers. It kinda makes sense…
Dun dun dun!
He’ll be activated in august so dodgers can use fresh starters in the playoffs
Charlie, Glassarm was removed from a start on MAY 6th, not June 6th. Dodgers are playing the Angels tonight.
Huh wonder why the Dodgers had a hard time moving him during the off season
as if they were actually trying to?
Why’d they engage in trade talks during the off season if they had no intentions of trading Glasnow?
Almost like had they found an offer they liked and didn’t have to include any money they’d probably had traded him…….but nobody was gonna give anything of value and take on that money for a guy with his history
mlbtraderumors.com/2025/12/dodgers-have-discussed-…
Gonzalez notes that a trade scenario seems like “a long shot.” However, “the Dodgers would not be opposed to moving” Glasnow, so it would appear the starter isn’t exactly untouchable.
Yeah sounds like they had no intentions of trading him lol
your quote from the article says it all. “isn’t exacyly untouchable” is not the same as trying to move him.
“lol”
Skipped right over the middle sentence hooked on phonics
However, “the Dodgers would not be opposed to moving”
You’re right the quote says it all
Trade
Moving
Not untouchable
Also skipped over whole them engaging in trade talks with him. Id called that actually and actively trying to if you’re listening to offers and negotiating trade details.
0/2
So yes. The dodgers had a hard time moving him during the off season.
Are you new? The Dodgers are always willing to make trades if they see a true benefit from it. Was Glasnow possibly talked about? Possible, and why not? The viability of a trade is determined by what the return would be.
Part of a Skubal deal? Yes he’s available to trade. For someone they are only marginally interested in? Likely not. Context is everything.
“ Are you new? The Dodgers are always willing to make trades if they see a true benefit from it.”
Are you illiterate lol? Cause that’s the point Einstein LOL
Apparently you and double Chin Muzak think
Discussing trades involving Glasnow with other teams
Negotiating trade packages looking at other teams rosters and minor leaguers
Means the Dodgers weren’t actually trying to trade Glasnow they were just kidding LOL
Yeah. And dodgers discussing signing free agents with their agents means the dodgers aren’t actually trying to sign them
And when dodgers are discussing slot deals with guys they draft doesn’t mean they’re actually trying to sign them
And when they’re discussing ifa agreements doesn’t actually mean theyre trying to sign them
Nope. Cause investing time energy resources into discussions around trades free agent signings drafting and ifa spending means you aren’t trying to actually do anything of those things
Yup that’s the room temp IQ I’d expect from a fan base that actively encouraged a lock out to happen and ruin baseball. Away games should be on site for Dodger fans
“So yes. The dodgers had a hard time moving him during the off season.”
Apparently you’re saying that there wasn’t a good enough trade offered for them to give up an excellent pitcher in Glasnow?
Using this logic, because every club asked about Ohtani and be wasn’t traded, they had a hard time moving Ohtani?
Got it. Strange logic, but ok.
Blockhead Dodger fans and their short sighted franchise may well ruin baseball forever
You all deserve to be booed out of every stadium and told you are not welcome here anymore for ruining baseball
“ Apparently you’re saying that there wasn’t a good enough trade offered for them to give up an excellent pitcher in Glasnow?”
Nope. I’m saying Dodgers had a ridiculous asking price nobody in their right mind was gonna pay for
an injury prone pitcher
Who’s never made more than 22 starts in a season
Who’s never reached 150 innings
Who’s making top market money.
AND that trend continues this year since he’s already on the 60 day DL – he’s not gonna pitch more than 22 games, he’s not gonna pitch more than 150 innings, hes being paid top money to sit on the bench
But then again Dodgers and their fans aren’t the sharpest tool in the shed considering they’re the sole reason we are heading for years without baseball. Dodger fans should be permanently banned from away stadiums.
There is obviously a reason you were undrafted in life. And you’re clarifying it with every post. It’s extremely impressive in the worst way possible.
Chicken little has nothing on you. “The MLB is falling!!! Oh noooo!!!”
Please give us your take on John Fisher, Bob Nutting and the Pohlad Family.
the dude hasn’t spoken to a woman in person in a decade and we can all tell.
So you’re a woman?
That explains a lot actually.
Discussing trades involving Glasnow doesn’t count as actually trying to trade Glasnow
Yeah and
Discussing contract details with agents of free agents doesn’t count as actually trying to sign them
And discussing contract details with agents of draft picks doesn’t count as them actually trying to sign them
And discussing contract details with agents of international free agents doesn’t count as them actually trying to sign them
Yup. Men just waste time resources and energy doing all that and actually have no intention of doing any of it.
Honey you better hope the good lord blessed you with looks that last past your 40s cause he sure didn’t bless you common sense or critical thinking skills. Bless your heart
absolute in cel energy. I understand who you are now. my condolences.
lol you’re a virgin
Sweet heart your best quality is you never let facts interfere with your opinions.
You’re a cougar huh? Dont worry honey you look incredible for someone who grew up without color tv.
You seem like a kid trying to troll using words you think adults use.
Why? No idea
Frasso? He wasn’t pitching well.
Let’s face it. The regular season is just pre-season for the Dodgers with their payroll. They just want their starters healthy and rested for the post season.
Glasnow will be replaced by Skubal. Glasnow is done.
Last postseason, Glasnow was a useful piece out of the bullpen. There’s room for both Skubal and Glasnow.
😀
Glasnow started three postseason games, all Dodgers wins. The list of starters who didn’t make postseason bullpen appearances would be shorter. As far as trading for Skubal, it’s the Dodgers, so I wouldn’t rule anything out, but the reality is they already have the four starters they’d need in the postseason, and then some.
Glasnow is a payroll bandit. He took them for a ride. Skubal will replace him in the second half. Maybe he is ready by next yr.
How can one be a “payroll bandit” when these are mutually-agreed upon contracts?
Get your logic fixed, Rob.
Glasnow and Snell should have their contracts rewritten for half the amount they are currently getting!
Dodgers just have too much money to be able to spend on players who contribute only a percentage of time to their overall playoff run….they’ve paid HUGE money for a player who goes on the IL stepping out of the shower on a yearly basis, only to have him come back at the backend of the season when he’s fresh and everyone else is dragging a bit….guess the Dodgers figure he’s only good for 15 starts a year….and 3-5 of those will be in the playoffs….guess that’s the game of today though….
Imagine if some random couch urchin stranger just demanded your salary/wage be altered.
They do that to government ghost
Employees . Complain about no call no show, no answers when you call them
Tyler is glass now and forever.
Quote from Dave Roberts after Glasnow left his start early with back tightness, “I do not believe it will be an IL issue for Glasnow.”
Mr. November right on cue.
