Scouting Report: Tyler Cyr

Summary

Tyler Glasnow, Los Angeles Dodgers All-Star right-handed pitcher, was placed on the 15-day injured list with lower back spasms after exiting Wednesday's start against the Astros in the second inning. While Glasnow downplayed the issue postgame, the Dodgers opted to shelve him for a couple weeks. His recovery is progressing slower than expected, with back discomfort returning and no mound work yet, though he is playing catch. Glasnow has been performing at a top-of-the-rotation level with a 2.72 ERA and 49 strikeouts in seven starts (39.2 innings), tied for sixth in the NL in strikeouts. However, durability remains a persistent concern—he has yet to reach 140 innings in an MLB season and has been on the injured list at least once annually since 2018. This marks his third injury stint with the Dodgers in three seasons.
