"It was the right thing to do. Probably could've pitch through it," Roberts said.
The Dodgers are understandably proceeding with caution. Glasnow has dealt with injuries in the past. Risking further injury by having him pitch through this issue was something the team was clearly not willing to do. The good news is that Blake Snell is returning soon . Of course, the Dodgers are hopeful that Glasnow will not have to miss too much time.
Overall, the right-handed hurler has pitched to a 2.72 ERA across seven games pitched in 2026. He's certainly made a significant impact for the ball club.
The Dodgers will continue to monitor and provide updates on Tyler Glasnow 's injury status as they are made available.
