Tyler Glasnow Fantasy Stats

The Los Angeles Dodgers announced on Friday that they placed right-hander Tyler Glasnow (back) on the 15-day injured list with lower-back spasms and recalled right-hander Paul Gervase from the minors in a corresponding move. Glasnow will have to miss at least a couple turns through the starting rotation despite his MRI exam not showing anything serious. The 32-year-old hard-throwing veteran was pulled from his last start early on Wednesday in Houston against the Astros after just one inning after he felt his back give out on him while throwing warmup pitches before the second inning. It's a tough break for Glasnow, who has struck out 49 batters in 39 2/3 innings of work so far in his seven starts for the Dodgers in 2026 while allowing more than two earned runs in a start just once. He's gone 3-0 with a 2.72 ERA and 0.83 WHIP and will need to be stashed in an IL spot in all fantasy leagues. Hopefully, it ends up being a short stay on the shelf for Glasnow. In his absence, right-hander Roki Sasaki could be tasked with taking Glasnow's rotation spot.

Los Angeles Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said that right-hander Tyler Glasnow (back) will undergo an MRI exam on his back, but he's not expected to go on the injured list, according to Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic. Glasnow said he felt his back "gave out" during a warm-up throw before the second inning of his outing on Wednesday in Houston against the Astros. He tried to throw another pitch, but it didn't feel any better. It's the same issue that forced him to skip a start in Baltimore in 2025 and that sent him to the IL in 2024. The Dodgers are calling Glasnow's injury back spasms for now. If Glasnow's back doesn't get any worse and he's able to make his between-starts bullpen session, he'll be lined up for a great matchup next week against the division-rival San Francisco Giants. In his inning of work on Wednesday, the hard-throwing right-hander allowed an earned run on a solo home run while walking none and striking out two. Given the 32-year-old's lengthy injury history, it wouldn't be a surprise if he lands on the IL as a precaution.

Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Tyler Glasnow (low back pain) exited before the second inning of Wednesday's game against the Houston Astros. Glasnow threw 19 pitches in the first inning, and he started to get ready for the second inning before manager Dave Roberts and the trainer came out to check on him. He was ultimately removed from the game and replaced by Jack Dreyer. Fans and fantasy managers will hold their breath as the team conducts testing to determine the severity of his injury. If Glasnow is forced to miss any time, it would be another chapter in an injury-filled career. He's been highly effective when healthy, though, pitching to a 2.41 xERA with 10.94 K/9 and 3.03 BB/9 this season. On a positive note, the Dodgers do have reinforcements on the way. Blake Snell (shoulder) is expected to return from the 15-day injured list next week and could slot into Glasnow's rotation spot, if necessary. UPDATE: Glasnow was pulled early with back spasms.

Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Tyler Glasnow didn't have his best command during Wednesday's outing against the Miami Marlins. The right-hander issued a season-high six walks in what ended up being a no-decision for Glasnow. He was able to salvage his fantasy value by tying his season-high with nine strikeouts across 5.2 innings of work. It has been an overall strong start to the season for Glasnow, who holds a 2.56 ERA, 0.83 WHIP, and a 47:13 K:BB ratio across six starts. He hopes to have better command during his next outing against the Houston Astros. Despite some command issues, Glasnow remains a must-start fantasy pitcher.

Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Tyler Glasnow has long tantalized fantasy managers with his immense upside and frustrated them with his inability to make it through a full season without getting injured. 2025 was more of the same for the 32-year-old, as he posted a 4-3 record with a 3.19 ERA, 1.10 WHIP, and 106 strikeouts across 90 1/3 innings (18 starts). Across 10 MLB seasons, Glasnow has never made more than 22 starts or thrown more than 134 innings. Still, the veteran right-hander is currently healthy as 2026 Opening Day approaches. Glasnow has recorded five consecutive seasons with an ERA of 3.53 or less and eight straight campaigns with a strikeout rate of 29% or higher, making him very difficult for fantasy managers to pass up. All in all, Glasnow remains a high-risk, high-reward starting pitcher option heading into 2026.

Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Tyler Glasnow is healthy as spring training approaches, which is a favorable development for himself, his team, and fantasy baseball managers. Glasnow has dealt with many injuries throughout his time in the majors, including a two-and-a-half-month stint on the injured list last year as he recovered from right shoulder inflammation. He also pitched through side soreness during the World Series. The 34-year-old finished the year with 90.1 innings, and he hasn't thrown more than 134.0 innings during a single big-league season in his career. Now that he's healthy, though, he could eclipse that mark, especially in his role as the No. 3 arm in the Dodgers' rotation. Although availability has been a problem for Glasnow in the past, productivity was never the issue. He posted an impressive 3.72 xFIP last year with 10.56 K/9, 4.28 BB/9, and a 44.4% ground ball rate. While the walk rate was higher than ideal, it seemed to be an anomaly since he maintained a sub-3.00 BB/9 rate every year from 2021 through 2024. As long as Glasnow stays healthy in 2026, he should produce as a top option for the Dodgers and for fantasy managers. He currently ranks as the #25 starting pitcher in RotoBaller's fantasy baseball draft rankings.

Right-hander Tyler Glasnow has "come up in conversations" between the Los Angeles Dodgers and other teams, according to Alden Gonzalez of ESPN. Gonzalez added that any potential trade remains a "long shot," though the Dodgers would not be opposed to moving Glasnow. The 6-foot-8 righty is owed $30 million in both 2026 and 2027, with Los Angeles holding a club option for 2028. Since joining the Dodgers two seasons ago, Glasnow has posted a 3.37 ERA with 274 strikeouts and a 1.01 WHIP over 224 innings. When healthy, the 10-year veteran is among the elite pitchers in baseball, but durability remains the biggest concern, as he has never surpassed 134 innings in a single season. From a fantasy perspective, Glasnow's ADP sits just outside the top 100, making him a calculated gamble with massive upside if he can finally stay on the mound.

The Athletic's Fabian Ardaya reported before the Los Angeles Dodgers' Game 7 victory over the Toronto Blue Jays on Saturday to win back-to-back World Series championships that right-hander Tyler Glasnow (side) had been dealing with discomfort in his side, according to FOX Sports' Tom Verducci. Despite starting Game 3 and closing out Friday's Game 6 win, the hard-throwing right-hander appeared in Game 7 on Saturday in relief and threw 2 1/3 frames, allowing an earned run on three hits while walking none and striking out two. It was the first time that the 32-year-old had ever pitched on back-to-back days in his professional career. In addition to Glasnow, the Dodgers used starters Shohei Ohtani, Blake Snell, and Yoshinobu Yamamoto in the 5-4, 11-inning victory at Rogers Centre. In his 21 1/3 innings pitched (three starts) during this year's postseason, Glasnow gave up six runs (four earned) on 15 hits with 11 walks, 25 strikeouts, a hold, and a save.

Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Tyler Glasnow will get the starting nod for Monday's Game 3 of the World Series against the Toronto Blue Jays. The Dodgers will look to even the series on Saturday after dropping the opener. Glasnow has been nearly impossible to touch during the postseason. He struck out eight batters across 5.2 innings of work during Game 3 of the NLCS. Overall, Glasnow has a 0.68 ERA, 1.13 WHIP, and 18 strikeouts over 13.1 innings during the postseason. Following Game 3, Shohei Ohtani will get the ball for Game 4 of this series.

Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Tyler Glasnow is currently in line to start Game 4 of the NLDS against the Philadelphia Phillies. Dodgers manager Dave Roberts confirmed Glasnow will start this game, assuming it's needed. It's worth noting that Glasnow threw 34 pitches in relief of Shohei Ohtani during Saturday's win. That is a fairly small workload for a starting pitcher and he'll get until Thursday to rest. Glasnow should be fully rested and ready to go for a Game 4. It's unclear if he'll make a full length start, but that'll likely be dependent on how this series plays out.
