Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Tyler Glasnow left his start against the Pittsburgh Pirates Sunday after just one inning due to right shoulder discomfort.

The injury is only the latest for Glasnow, who has a lengthy injury history. Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said a stint on the injured list is “certainly a possibility” for Glasnow according to MLB.com’s Sonja Chen.

He went out to the mound to throw warmup pitches before the second inning, but was pulled from the game after he felt discomfort in his shoulder while warming up.

As he threw the warmup pitches, Glasnow said “something grabbed” on his final throws which he related to mechanical changes he made to his delivery over the offseason according to MLB.com. And after leaving the game, Glasnow admitted the latest bothersome injury felt quite crushing.

“Just making a lot of changes, trying to figure out a way to stay healthy, I think some of the changes led to other things kind of taking over,” Glasnow said via MLB.com. “And at this point, I’m just trying to figure out what to do. It’s just extremely frustrating.”

He has dealt with back issues, a serious oblique injury, a forearm strain, multiple elbow problems plus Tommy John surgery in 2021. Last season, he was shut down in August due to a strained elbow and missed the rest of the season.

Glasnow, 31, signed a five-year, $136.5 million contract extension with the Dodgers before the 2024 season which restructered a previous one-year deal. In his first season with L.A. last year, he made 22 starts, which was a career-high. He has made four starts and pitched 17 innings to start the 2025 campaign, but now may be headed for the IL.

Using a consistent lineup for 1st time, the Pirates boasted baseball’s best batting average

Before the Pittsburgh Pirates left for a six-game swing in Los Angeles, Andrew McCutchen voiced to TribLive his concerns about how they needed to find consistency in their lineup instead of the constant shuffling.

Based on the batting orders against the Angels and Dodgers last week, that message was received loud and clear by Pirates manager Derek Shelton and taken to heart.

The results justified McCutchen’s stance.

The Pirates boasted the best batting average in baseball (.289) by going 61 of 121 in the two series, an incredible reversal for a team that ranked dead last in the majors at .192 through its first 16 games this season.

Impressive as that appears, the Pirates hit even better when Shelton started the same exact lineup four times. With Oneil Cruz batting leadoff, followed by Bryan Reynolds, Andrew McCutchen, Enmanuel Valdez, Joey Bart, Ke’Bryan Hayes, Adam Frazier, Tommy Pham and Isiah Kiner-Falefa, the Pirates batted .319 (46 of 144) in wins Tuesday and Wednesday against the Angels and losses Saturday and Sunday against the Dodgers.

“We are starting to get things going in the lineup, which is good,” McCutchen said on the SportsNet Pittsburgh postgame show after the 9-2 loss to the Dodgers on Sunday. “That seems like something we were missing. That was a rollercoaster of offensive battles for us, so to get some consistency in the lineup and with the guys at the bottom and throughout the whole lineup, it’s good to get that production. That’s the way we’re going to win ballgames. We have to keep the line moving and try not to do too much. That’s how we have to treat each game.”

McCutchen backed up his words with his bat by hitting .375 (9 for 24) with two home runs and four RBIs, including a 4-for-4 performance Sunday that featured a solo homer in the first inning.

“Cutch is having good swings. First four days of the road trip, he’d been really hot,” Shelton said, noting that McCutchen bounced back after going 0 for 5 Saturday. “He’s having really consistent at-bats, and we need that in our lineup.”
