Scouting Report: Tyler Davis
Chicago Cubs | RP
Overall
Summary
Tyler Glasnow suffered a lower back spasm injury on May 6, 2026 while warming up for the second inning against the Houston Astros. Initially downplayed by manager Dave Roberts as a precautionary measure, the injury was later reaggravated, forcing the Dodgers to place him on the 15-day IL on May 8. MRI results showed "nothing really significant," but the team is taking a cautious approach. Glasnow has a history of recurring back issues and other injuries throughout his career. Despite the injury setback, he was performing at an elite level with a 3-0 record, 2.72 ERA, 0.832 WHIP, and 49 strikeouts in 7 starts, earning consideration as a Cy Young dark horse candidate.
