Tyler Davis

Tyler Glasnow, Los Angeles Dodgers right-handed pitcher, suffered lower back spasms during warmup pitches in the second inning against the Houston Astros on May 6, 2026. Initially downplayed by both Glasnow and manager Dave Roberts, the injury was placed on the 15-day injured list after MRI results showed no significant structural damage. Glasnow has a recurring history of back issues throughout his career. Prior to the injury, he was performing at an elite level with a 2.72 ERA, 49 strikeouts in 39.2 innings across 7 starts, and had just reached his 1,000th career strikeout milestone. He was on a 6-game streak of at least 6 strikeouts per game. Recovery is progressing slower than expected, with Glasnow currently playing catch but not yet throwing off the mound.
