2025 Player Outlook
An elbow injury cut short Glasnow's season, and he was unavailable for the Dodgers World Series run. Thankfully, the injury was diagnosed as tendinitis and did not require surgery. Glasnow is expected to have a normal ramp-up for the 2025 season, where he will look to build on the successful 22 starts he made last season. His strikeout rate (32.2 percent) and walk rate (6.7 percent) were both significantly better than league average last season, and all ERA estimators showed he deserved better results than his 3.49 ERA, including his 2.65 xERA.

Tyler Glasnow (shoulder) will be shut down from throwing for 10-14 days before being re-evaluated.
Glasnow hit the injured list earlier this week with right shoulder inflammation. The Dodgers are going to give him at least a couple weeks to rest before he’s potentially cleared to resume a throwing program. It seems highly unlikely he’ll make it back to Los Angeles’ rotation until sometime in June since he’ll need at least a couple minor league rehab starts to build up his stamina and pitch count again. He remains without an official return timetable for the moment.
Dodgers placed RHP Tyler Glasnow on the 15-day injured list with right shoulder inflammation.
Glasnow officially hits the shelf following an early exit from Sunday’s start against the Pirates with shoulder discomfort. Dodgers manager Dave Roberts told reporters he doesn’t believe Glasnow is dealing with any structural damage, which is encouraging, but fantasy managers should anticipate him missing at least a couple weeks. The 31-year-old righty told reporters following Sunday’s abbreviated outing that he’s been experiencing on-and-off discomfort in his shoulder, which he attributes to mechanical changes he had made to his delivery before the season to avoid elbow issues. It’ll likely be some combination of Tony Gonsolin, who is expected to return this week from the injured list, and Ben Casparius filling the void in Los Angeles’ rotation.
Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said Monday that Tyler Glasnow is “likely” headed to the injured list.
Roberts added that the club hasn’t made a final decision prior to Monday’s series opener against the Marlins. He also noted that Glasnow is currently being evaluated for general body soreness in addition to the shoulder discomfort that cut short Sunday’s start against the Pirates. He expressed confidence that Glasnow isn’t dealing with any structural issues in his right shoulder, which is encouraging. It seems like a virtual lock that Glasnow will land on the shelf at some point this week. It’ll likely be some combination of Tony Gonsolin, who is expected to return this week from the injured list, and Ben Casparius filling the void.
Dodgers’ manager Dave Roberts told reporters after Sunday’s game that the injured list is “certainly a possibility” for Tyler Glasnow (shoulder).
Glasnow was pulled from Sunday’s start after one inning due to discomfort in his shoulder. The right-hander told reporters afterwards that the shoulder has been and on-and-off thing for him as he attempts to adapt his delivery to prevent the elbow issues that have plagued him in the past. It’s much more important for the Dodgers to get him right for the postseason than it is to win some meaningless games in May, so don’t be surprised to see them take a cautious approach here.
