Dodgers' Tyler Glasnow Finally Nearing Return Following Latest Update
Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Tyler Glasnow is growing ever closer to a return, and is scheduled to make his first rehab start with Triple-A Oklahoma Cit
www.si.comHere’s the latest on Tyler Glasnow based on recent reporting:
-
May 2026: Glasnow was dealing with back spasms and was evaluating next steps, including an MRI to determine whether an injured list stint would be necessary. He was tentatively scheduled to start at home against San Francisco next week if cleared. This update suggests he’s in the vicinity of a return but not yet back in the Dodgers’ rotation.[2]
-
Early May 2026: He left a game with lower back discomfort after one inning and had to be evaluated by the training staff; the team planned to decide on IL placement after an MRI if needed. This indicates a setback that could affect his immediate availability.[4]
-
Mid-2025 to 2026 context: Glasnow had been progressing through rehab from previous shoulder/elbow issues and had shown the potential to contribute significantly when healthy, including a rehab path via Triple-A and a planned return to the Dodgers’ rotation. While these reports are older, they frame expectations for his durability and upside when healthy.[1][3]
