Tyler Glasnow injury update: Dodgers place pitcher on 15-day IL

The Los Angeles Dodgers have backtracked their "precautionary measures" with starting pitcher Tyler Glasnow and placed him on the 15-day injured list. Glasnow reinjured his back during a May 6 meeting with the Houston Astros while throwing warmup pitches during the second inning, which took him out for the rest of the game. The Dodgers won 12-2.

Glasnow's back injury history was known by Dodgers manager Dave Roberts. He said that it's been "a reoccurring theme" and would monitor the pain with more precautionary measures, such as pushing back his starts. But the team announced on X, formerly Twitter, Friday that Glasnow was placed on the injured list with low back spasms and recalled right-handed pitcher Paul Gervase.
