Scouting Report: Tyler Lyons
New York Yankees | RP
Overall
Summary
Tyler Glasnow, Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher, was placed on the 15-day injured list with lower back spasms after exiting his May 6 start against the Houston Astros in the second inning. He reaggravated a previous back injury while warming up. Despite initial optimism from manager Dave Roberts that he might avoid the IL, Glasnow's back "flared up" and he was shelved for at least two weeks. The team indicated no long-term structural damage was sustained. Prior to the injury, Glasnow was having an elite 2026 season with a 3-0 record, 2.72 ERA, 0.832 WHIP, and 49 strikeouts through seven starts, earning Cy Young consideration. However, durability remains a persistent concern as Glasnow has been on the IL at least once annually since 2018 and has never reached 140 innings in an MLB season.
Strengths
- Elite performance before injury: 3-0 record with 2.72 ERA and 0.832 WHIP through 7 starts
- Exceptional strikeout dominance: 49 strikeouts tied for 6th in NL, 6-game streak of 6+ K per game
