Tyler Glasnow DVOA, Advanced Stats, & Fantasy Rankings

Los Angeles Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said that right-hander Tyler Glasnow (shoulder) will start playing catch on Friday. Glasnow is not with the club on their current road trip, so he will play catch back in L.A. on Friday as he begins a throwing program. The hard-throwing 31-year-old left his start prematurely on April 27 against the Pittsburgh Pirates with right-shoulder inflammation and landed on the 15-day injured list as a result. There's no specific timeline for when Glasnow might rejoin the Dodgers' starting rotation, but he'll likely need at least a short minor-league rehab assignment. In a best-case scenario, it will be a couple of more weeks before we see him again in the big leagues. Even though Glasnow is sporting a disappointing 4.50 ERA in his five starts in 2025, he has fanned 23 in 18 innings pitched and should remain rostered in all fantasy formats while he's on the IL.

Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Tyler Glasnow (shoulder) will be shut down from throwing for the next 10-14 days. Glasnow was placed on the 15-day injured list on Monday due to right shoulder inflammation. Fantasy managers should monitor his status, but it appears the hard-throwing right-hander will miss a significant period of time. Before his injury, Glasnow held a 4.50 ERA with a 1.28 WHIP across 18 innings of work. However, most of his damage came on April 6 when he allowed five runs and five walks across two innings of work against the Phillies. Despite his extensive injury history, when on the bump, Glasnow has flashed elite upside. Fantasy managers should continue to stash him on their injured reserve. While he is sidelined, Matt Sauer should see more opportunities in the rotation.

Los Angeles Dodgers right-hander Tyler Glasnow (shoulder) is being placed on the 15-day injured list on Monday with what the Dodgers are calling right-shoulder inflammation, according to The Athletic's Fabian Ardaya. Glasnow is also dealing with overall body soreness and was examined by doctors and the medical staff on Monday, a day after leaving his start early in Sunday's series finale against the Pittsburgh Pirates. In a corresponding move, pitcher Noah Davis is being recalled from Triple-A Oklahoma City. Until Glasnow is able to return, right-hander Ben Casparius will be a candidate to enter L.A.'s starting rotation heading into May. Glasnow has developed a reputation for being injury-prone at this point in his career, but he's worth stashing in all fantasy leagues with an injury that doesn't seem to be all that serious. He's gone 1-0 with a 4.50 ERA, 1.28 WHIP and 23 strikeouts in 18 innings in his first five starts in 2025.
